NEW UPDATED GRE REQUIREMENT LIST AS OF 2020. Some schools are temporarily relaxing the GRE requirement. This might become permanent in the future due to the COVID-19 health crisis. We will keep updating this list as necessary.
The majority of the DVM programs DO require a GRE test score to be submitted. This does not have to be a stressful piece of information. Take as many free GRE practice tests as possible! Remember to breathe deeply and relax on test day!

The best way to study for the exam is to get familiar with the type of questions that you will encounter. The books by ETS (the people who write the GRE) will provide you with actual GRE examples.
Here is a complete and updated GRE list for the 2020-2021 cycle. This is a list of schools that do and don’t require the GRE! A few like the University of Wisconsin are relaxing the GRE requirement temporarily due to COVID-19.
