OMS programs and GRE

[Toronto77]

Are there any OMS candidates for the 2014 cycle that have taken the GRE? Some programs appear to have it as a requirement. I took the NBME CBSE but have no plans to take the GRE. I don't want to waste money applying to programs that my application will not be complete. It is quite difficult to obtain information directly from the programs.

Any input?

Of the programs I am interested in:

Oklahoma
Wisconsin

I didn't look for the post but I seem to recall one of the Parkland residents (maybe CMistry) indicated that the PASS website was incorrect on that.

The PASS website's list of requirements for each program is notoriously inaccurate. The best thing to do is to phone the program coordinators at each of the programs you are interested in (try to collaborate with some friends) and put together what the requirements are for each of the programs.
Or, if you want to save yourself from this painstakingly annoying task - just send everything to all the schools - they'll throw away what they don't want.

Yup, only NBME required here.
