You should contact various departments to see what their academic requirements are (i.e.- How soon pre-reqs expire, what they are, if you need to take them, GPA, etc). As far as experience requirements, you should be set

go to www.aapa.org for listings of the programs in the country.

LORs, experience, and GPA much more important.

I am pretty sure that reguardless of where you are from, you have to take the GRE.

have you researched the specific schools that you're interested in? then if they all the require the GRE, then you will need to take it. not all programs require it.

Eventhough the GRE may not be AS IMPORTANT as other things like medical experience, LORs, etc, it is still required. There may be some schools out there that dont require it, but I know that the 5 I applied to did. Call the schools you want to apply to and see if it is required.

After you call, relax, take the exam, then focus on LORs, etc (The important stuff).
