for admission decisions can only be expected to yield a

continued reliance on GRE™ for admission decisions will be
one important ongoing source of unintended institutional
racism, sexism, classism, and/or elitism across academic
veterinary medicine – imparting unintended bias against those
candidates who might be marginalized based on race, ethnicity,
gender, socio-economic status, or geography.
