Maybe things are starting to work a little differently than past grad school admissions cycles. My STEM kid prepared for the GRE (both subject and general) and was scoring very well in practice sessions (170Q/164V on General) but she did not sign up to take the real thing because none of her schools were requiring it. She ended up with 15 interviews and 11 acceptances. I personally wanted my kid to take the GRE, but a mentor and advisor told her that her strong resume would do the job and they were right. I think more and more grad school hopefuls are bypassing the GRE which puts more onus on their other credentials.
