Hi, so I haven't taken the GRE b/c none of the med schools seem to need them, but Columbia has a spot to fill out GRE scores... does anyone know if it's mandatory to take the GRE for Columbia's MSTP program?

The GRE is not listed as a requirement here, but it may help you to take it? Maybe you should call them and ask.

No, it is not mandatory.

No, it is not mandatory.

it is not needed, and from your MCAT i wouldn't worry about taking it.

For that matter, does any school require the GREs for MD/PhD applicants who are looking to get a PhD in the basic biomedical sciences? (e.g., not ethics and/or engineering)

University of Florida requires a GRE score from all MD/PhD applicants.

So far, they're the only one that I looked at with a mandatory GRE.

Does anyone know the "code" for the biology subject GRE? I took it and thought I would include it on my app since I got a good score, but I don't know what goes in the code field to let them know which subject test I took.

IIRC, Ohio wanted one, as well as GW. At least they used to...
