The latest test publisher marketing gimmicks is test scores help you "stand out" but by the nature and design of standardized testing at least 50% will NOT STAND OUT. 
"When our powers combine. . . "
we'll convince students that testing will help you stand out.

Oh my.. the #GRE is so so desperate
trying hard to make institutions think the test is testing relevant skills and making applicants think that the test is necessary to "dreams."
also aggressively trying to become the bschool and law school test

"not having SATs/ACT scores to consider tends to raise socioeconomic barriers to demonstrating readiness for our education"
an interesting development: MIT reinstates its SAT/ACT requirement. worth reading the footnotes.

Really important point here: Yes, SAT scores are correlated with SES, but *so is everything else.*

Wonder which universities/programs are going to be the first to change course on #GRExit ...
1/n My paper on the garbage dump that passes for causal analysis in Physics Ed. Res. (and I think in other education) has just been posted. Kudos to the editor for publishing this critique of papers from his journal! link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/Ph…

Newer critiques of 2021 papers here: arxiv.org/abs/2101.05647.
Start of broader discussion of what it means for all of us in science down-thread.

3/n It looks like the field of physics education research (NSF funders, editors, reviewers, funded researchers, National Academy panels …) has no clue about causal inference and little clue about even more familiar stats methods.
Up until 9 months ago (green card 🙏), I was on an F1 visa for 13 years. This last measure is unbelievably cruel but perhaps you don't realize how many other hurdles international students face. This is what it was like for me 👇 #StudentBan #InternationalStudents 1/n
Step 1: Apply to college, get accepted. That's where it ends for US citizens & permanent residents. For undergrads and MS students, you first have to show the school that you already have the $$ to pay for tuition AND everything else for yr 1 - they issue an I-20 #StudentBan 2/n
You then take that I-20 to apply for a #F1visa and it's up to the consul to decide whether your family has enough $$ to pay for your education. The consul that reviewed my visa app for undergrad almost denied me mine. I was almost in tears during that entire appt #StudentBan 3/n

In 2 weeks, @PublicHealthUMN will remove its number from ETS, going #GRExit for all programs. Our decision was largely based on the results of a RANDOMIZED assessment of how GRE scores influence admissions decisions.
What we did and what we found: a thread. 1/n

Quick #GRExit background: there is published literature looking at whether GRE scores predict success in grad school. Most show it doesn't (much), but it's tough to define/measure "success", and selection bias clouds interpretation of study results. 2/n
We decided to ask a simpler question: does seeing the GRE score actually affect how admissions committee members score an application?
Now *that's* a question we can design a randomized study to answer! 3/n

So last night I sat down to see about taking the General GRE and Physics GRE, a process that many prospective grad students will have to tackle in the coming months.
Here's what I learned...
Here's what I learned...
Right now ETS offers an "at home" option for the General GRE! There's an online proctor! Testing is already happening and will be available 7 days a week from Jul 1 - Sep 30! How accommodating! How accessible!
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Here's what you need at home to take the test:
To start, you need a Windows or Mac desktop or laptop. No tablets or mobile devices (the "Mac" bit is also new; when I first tries this a few weeks ago Macs were prohibited)

Γλείφει απροκάλυπτα τον κώλο του ερντογαν η γερμανία,
κάνει συστάσεις στη Συρία, κυρίαρχο κράτος,
να ..μην προστατεύει τα υπό εισβολή εδάφη της,
αλλά να τα ..παραδώσει στους ...τουρκους!

Grad school application season is just around the corner. So, it’s time for a thread on #grexit. Spoiler: I’m on the fence. Here’s why. 1/
First, let’s limit the conversation: I want to talk about #grexit for PhD admissions in (bio)statistics. Why just PhD? Admit rates are (much) lower, and the “financial barrier” argument for #grexit is more relevant for a fully-funded program. 2/
Next, my experience: I am DGS and sit on the admissions committee at @umnbiostat. We receive ~180 PhD applicants each year, and make ~25 first-round offers. All members of the adcom score every PhD applicant; there are no “automatic rejects” based on grades or test scores. 3/
I'm creating a list of US graduate programs that don't require the GRE for admission. If you know of one, please tweet at me with website/news article. Or add to the google doc: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Kent State Geology faculty have voted to #droptheGRE from our graduate admissions process, and we're compiling a list of other programs doing the same to help make the case to the administration. #GRExit
Why do want to #droptheGRE? We've found it doesn't predict success in our program. It's also a financial barrier for applicants, especially international applicants who may have to travel for hours to take the test. #GRExit
