Fwd: [csas] [SLA] query about graduate schools

[Harriet Ottenheimer]

Here's a quick summary of responses so far:

Wichita State University, Northern Arizona University, and Washington 
University (Seattle) are said to be non-GRE-requirers, as are most 
universities in Canada, Australia, England, France and lots of other 
places outside of the U.S.

Several people wrote to suggest that GREs can be taken later, after one 
has been accepted, and that some programs are flexible enough to allow 
for such a possibility.  (One person indeed did exactly this.)

Although one person provided a date for the GRE in Majuro, in the 
Marshalls, on further inquiry it turns out that the test site knows 
nothing about this event.

Thanks to all who responded.
