A zoomed in picture of a fictional keyboard, with the enter key replaced by a bright red key that says "Admissions".

Dropping the GRE is just a first step toward holistic admissions. To further reduce bias in applicant evaluations, the UMass-Amherst geosciences program has changed the way it assesses students.  A group of Geosciences faculty & students, including Dr. Michele Cooke, Hannah Baranes, Dr.'s Isla Castañeda, Jonathon Woodruff, and David Boutt, have written an article in EOS about the process that might help other programs considering how to move forward from #Grexit.
