摘要

Universities in the United States rely too heavily on the graduate record examinations (GRE) - a standardized test introduced in 1949 that is an admissions requirement for most US graduate schools. This practice is poor at selecting the most capable students and severely restricts the flow of women and minorities into the sciences. We are not the only ones to reach this conclusion. William Sedlacek, professor emeritus of education at the University of Maryland, College Park, who has written extensively on the issue, notes that studies find only a weak correlation between the test and ultimate success in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) fields. De-emphasizing the GRE and augmenting admissions procedures with measures of other attributes - such as drive, diligence and the willingness to take scientific risks - would not only make graduate admissions more predictive of the ability to do well but would also increase diversity in STEM.
