Which schools require GRE? GRE anybody?

I was browsing stanford admission requirement and found out that they require GRE score...for MFA art practice:(

I am considering studying for GRE cause it seems like a decent program, but if I'm going to take the test, I want to apply to more schools that require GRE. 

Which schools require GRE?

This is the only program I have ever seen that requires a GRE for admission. It's some strange Stanford policy for all grad programs. I don't think you will find any other MFA programs in visual art that will require them.

I hope that they would get rid of that requirement soon....

I wouldn't study too hard if I were you. The GRE is mulitple choice and if you are taking it just for Stanford, they don't really care about the score you get. It's a formality because the universiry requires the scores be on record but the art department wont care what they are.

True, but the university might. There are often minimums for the graduate school that you have to meet, whether or not the department wants you.

I had checked this with the program the year I applied. There was not a University minimum. However, perhaps this has changed over time so it may be prudent to check again if you are someone applying now.
