<p>my reference to Eq was to certain posters</p>
<p>and I looked at the scores</p>
<p>if you look carefully, beyond the totals, you will see that the math scores, and I am assuming the test includes some advanced math, which is not needed for many majors is what brings up those "top"scorers</p>
<p>their other scores- verbal and analytical writing are not any better and often worse then the other majors</p>
<p>so this GRE test anayliss you postsis by NO MEANS a objective evidence</p>
<p>just cause you have been trained to do higher math, doesn’t mean you are more worthy of prestige than someone who did pretty good on the math, just hasn’t done it in awhile</p>
<p>and sometimes you need to look beyond just the total, and look at the parts, that is much more meaningful</p>
<p>I know some incredbily brilliant people who forget their algbebra</p>
<p>I don’t put down the engineers who didn’t do as strongly in the verbal as other students, not at all, but I don’t elevate them for doing better in math</p>
<p>there is something to looking at the bigger picture while checking out the details, something very important in life, something that requires thinking and not making assumptions about people because of one section of a test</p>
