Namaste from EDF Jamboree!
Every year, thousands of students come to us with one key question:
“Do I really need to take the GRE?”
Our answer, in most cases, is YES—and here’s why.
🌍 The GRE Widens Your University Options
Even though some universities have made the GRE optional, many top-tier institutions still prefer or recommend it, especially for graduate programs in:
- Engineering & Technology
- Business Analytics & Data Science
- Economics
- Psychology
- Public Policy
Having a GRE score opens doors to a broader range of programs and scholarships, including competitive ones.
🚀 The GRE Strengthens Your Profile
Think of the GRE as a tool that helps you stand out.
- Strong GRE scores can compensate for a lower GPA.
- They show academic readiness, especially in quant-heavy programs.
- Top scores can demonstrate your seriousness and preparation—qualities top schools love.
If you’re aiming for Ivy League schools, top-50 universities, or highly competitive scholarships, a good GRE score can give your profile the edge it needs.
🤔 Who Might Skip the GRE?
We don’t recommend the GRE to every student. Some programs, particularly in Europe, Canada, or specific U.S. schools, may not require it.
If your target universities have clearly waived GRE requirements and you have a strong overall profile, you might be fine without it.
But for the vast majority of students—especially those targeting top U.S. programs—the GRE remains a valuable asset.
📝 Our Final Recommendation
If you’re serious about your academic future, taking the GRE is a smart move. It gives you:
- More university options
- Greater chances at funding and scholarships
- A stronger, more competitive profile
At EDF Jamboree, we help you prepare strategically, score high, and aim for your dream schools.
Don’t let an optional checkbox limit your potential.
