Some says that GRE is going to exit.

Is it really true that, after all GRE is going to exit (GREXIT)?

There is a bit of a movement that resurfaces now and then in regards to dropping standardized tests. Some MBA programs such as Executive MBA waive the GMAT requirement for well-experienced candidates.

At the same time, the GRE is taken 900,000 times a year and is used quite widely. I can see that some of the less competitive programs may choose not to require the GRE in attempt to draw and entice more applicants (similar to how Online programs have done) to maximize applications and profits.

I think at the time being the most competitive programs have no reasons/drivers to exit the GRE.... welcome a rebuttal :)

I don't disagree in terms of GPA being a better evaluation metric and most MBA programs do consider GPA strongly as well. It is very hard to break into a top MBA program with anything less than 3.3 and very hard with a 2.9 or lower. But GPA for some could be undergrad GPA that is not ideal for a number of reasons, esp if someone went to undergrad 20 years ago or had a significant event or were subject to adversity and had to work during their undergrad to be able to support themselves. This way GRE offers another chance/redemption/etc.

I also feel that GRE/GMAT sharpen one's learning skills before school, which is quite helpful for success if they were out for a number of years.
