For non-ivy QF/ FinMath programs such as NC State and UChicago (although still prestigious) say on their website that 'GRE is not required of any applicant'. or 'GRE is optional, however a strong GRE score will increase your chances'. How exactly true is this/ what impact does it give on your chances of admission?
Say a strong applicant with great rec letters, statement of purpose, quant related internship and a near 4.0 gpa. How much will it impact if they do poorly on the GRE and decide to not submit? Standardized test anxiety here...
Appreciate any discussion.
