This is a really really good time for me to study for and take the GRE, and I prefer the old GRE to what I have seen of the new one. I know there are a lot of other people trying to get in the old one before the transition.
However, I am really concerned that the scores from the old GRE will not be accepted in the Fall 2012 application cycle if a person is rejected or chooses not to apply this cycle.
I spoke to a couple of the schools I am interested in, and they all said that the five-year rule should still apply, even for the old GRE scores, but one school also said, "things can always change."
Change?!?!? That is the last word I wanted to hear!
Is anyone else concerned about this? Taking the old GRE now and then having to study for and retake what seems to me to be a really different test (again, could just be me) if you're rejected this cycle and only new GRE scores are accepted the following application cycle?
