Any PT programs that don't have STATS as a pre-req?

You can check the pre-req requirements on the PTCAS directory. I don't know of any, but I haven't been looking for that so I don't know.

Since evidence based practice is at the core of a PT's education and practice (stats is essential to this), I think you would be hard pressed to find a school that doesn't require it.

I agree. Outside of possibly A&P, Stats was one of the more useful prereqs I have taken.

I would also agree. If you are unwilling or uninterested in taking stats, you will struggle with grad school. You won't remember the details you learn of how to solve statistical problems, but you will remember that it helped teach you how to think about data and scientific questions better. And you will not be lost every time you read a journal article wondering if P < 0.0001 is a good thing and what a 95% CI of 7.8 - 9.2 is...

Why are you asking? If it's just because you don't want to take it, that's one thing. If it's because you are a professional statistician who's making a career change and you don't want to have to retake freshman stats for the pre-req, that's another thing entirely. 🙂
