However, here are some Virginia universities where you'll frequently find programs that *do not* require the GRE, keeping in mind this is NOT exhaustive and program-specific checking is crucial:
* Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU): Many of their graduate programs have moved to test-optional or test-flexible admissions.
* George Mason University (GMU): Similar to VCU, many programs at GMU are GRE-optional.
* Old Dominion University (ODU): Again, check individual program requirements, but many graduate programs here are often GRE-optional.
* Longwood University: Often has GRE-optional programs, particularly in education-related fields.
* Radford University: Similar to Longwood, often features GRE-optional programs, particularly in certain areas.
How to Find Out for Sure:
1. Go to the university's website.
2. Navigate to the graduate admissions or the specific program's website.
3. Look for the admissions requirements or frequently asked questions (FAQs). The GRE requirement (or lack thereof) will usually be clearly stated.
Don't rely on this list alone. Always confirm directly with the university's graduate program website.
