   It matters a lot. Just as much as your Real Analysis grade or a pubication, I'd say. Of course you can find people with bad GREs who get into HRM, just like you can find ppl with B's in Anaysis who get admitted too.

   Honestly? About 2 hours. I'd forgotten about it until the courtesy reminder. 167+ in each subject.

   My anecdotal evidence is that GRE matters A LOT

   Even more than what people think

   And it's false that is just a threshold

   There's a difference between 170 and, say, 168

   I took one practice test and got 169/170. I got 170/170/6.0 on the real thing. I also got an A in real analysis (I and II) as well as a 4.0 in a math major.

   I've been rejected everywhere I've applied (waiting on one). Being an old man (late 30s) didn't help.

   Funny thing is, the first rejection surprised me and the second upset me... but at this point, I really don't care. What attracted me to economics was that economics (in particular, late-stage capitalism) has always been the deeper problem behind the smaller, technical issues holding back society, science, culture, etc. What I've learned since then is that you can't actually study anything important (since most important work will invalidate 50 years of neoliberalism) until after you get tenure.
