Hmmmmm.....the GRE. Originally got a B.S.E. with majors in English and speech. U. of Arkansas) Teaching school in Ft. Worth, picked up 18 or so hours in graduate level English literature at TCU. After having children and not enjoyed teaching, decided to pursue MBA. Took the GRE and scored in 97th percentile on the verbal and 12th percentile on the math, lol. Was admitted provisionally and managed to graduate just fine with no trouble in accounting, statistics and other business math. By the time I graduated (I live in a college town and took it slowly), I'd developed a cottage industry teaching BA and MBA students how to write a complete sentence, compose a coherent paragraph and make an organized presentation of their ideas. From this experience, I've come to believe the world is in much less danger from liberal arts students who lack math skills than it is from our business school graduates who have completed an incredibly narrow curriculum and usually lack both reading and critical thinking skills. In fact, if I had another lifetime, I believe I might crusade a little on this observation.
