After emailing the dean of my grad school, I found out that they are trying to get rid of the GRE scores as a requirement. That's good, then, as in less stress in applying to become a graduate assistant through the college instead of looking on my own (which I'm still going to do, anyways).
However, I still have already registered to take the test on January 11, 2010. This is what the ETS website says about rescheduling:
"To reschedule or cancel your registration, make your request no later than 3 days before your test date (not including the day of your request or the day of the test). The rescheduling fee is US$60. Your original registration fee must be paid before you can reschedule."
Okay, so if I decide to reschedule that will tack on another $60 to the already paid $150 fee for the test. Awesome. Blah.
This is what they say about canceling:
"If you cancel your registration no later than 3 days before your test date (not including the day of your request or the day of the test), half of the original test fee will be refunded. The other half will be used to cover processing charges."
Processing charges? What processes cost $75 that have to do with canceling taking the GRE?
After some deliberation, I've determined that I'm going to take the test anyways. Then at least I would have the scores. Plus, if I feel terrible about it when it's over, I could cancel the scores. That's good enough for me
