Are you like me and looking to dodge the GRE?
Does the thought of studying for the GRE exam make your palms sweat and your heart flutter?
Wouldn't it be great if you could find PA schools that don't require the GRE and simply avoid the GRE exam altogether?
Well, you are in luck! Out of 250 accredited and developing programs, there are quite a few that do not require the GRE.
Here is a list of the 80 94 (the list is growing) US and International Physician Assistant Programs that do not require the GRE for PA school acceptance

Hi,
Thank you so much for making this list. However, Meharry does requires GRE (the general test).
Hi Heidi thanks for the update, it looks like this is listed wrong as well on the PAEA PA program directory website. I have removed Meharry from the list.

stanford DOES require a GRE
Thanks, Vanessa, I have removed this from the list and updated my paschoolfinder website with the correct information. I really appreciate the heads up!

This list is either outdated or has not been reviewed as quite a few of the schools on this list DO in fact require the GRE. Best to go to the program website to make sure.
Thanks so much, I just updated it again to reflect some recent changes. But you are right, it is always best to go to the program website to make sure. This is true in all cases.
