I got a letter about three weeks after my initial wait list letter. But some people were called in as late as the first day of orientation!
I'd take the GRE, just to be on the safe side. You're going to sink A TON of money into a grad program - $200 more is a drop in the bucket in comparison.

I am a second year in ENMU's program. I am not sure how many are placed on the wait list, but they accept 25-30 students per cohort I believe. I highly recommend taking the 9 credit hours if you're able to. I don't know if it has any effect on your chances of being accepted, as they do blind reviews so they don't know any names until they have decided on the applicant packages they will accept; however, the majority of students that I know who took classes prior to being formally accepted were admitted for the subsequent application cycle. The 9 graduate hours can be competed either online or on campus, all of the students I know did theirs online though. If you are serious about getting into ENMU's program and don't get in off the wait list this cycle, then definitely take advantage of this! It will lighten your course load significantly once you're in the program. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! Good luck!!!
