Admissions Criteria and Diversity in Graduate School

Physics Education 2013-02-19 v1 Physics and Society

Abstract

In this work, I point out the negative implications for diversity in graduate school resulting from the use of cutoff scores on the GRE in the admissions process. In light of the data presented, as well as a swelling body of evidence suggesting no long term correlation with research success, I pose several challenges to the community related to the continued use of the GRE.
