Are they any? I have taken the GMAT so many times, 3 times, and the score is always a 490 or less. Now, I had enough with this and I'm applying to programs that don't need a GRE /GMAT.
Any one knows of schools or programs in the NY area?

Most art programs do not require the GRE. Although you'll have to submit a portfolio instead.

I haven't taken the GRE or any of the tests you've mentioned above, but I have friends who have taken a variety of them and they have said the GRE was the easiest out of all of them.

If the OP can't pass the GRE, there's little hope he/she would pass the bar to become a lawyer or pass every medical test required to become a doctor or pharmacist.

Honestly...why bother to go to a grad school that doesn't require entrance exams? It's not going to be reputable and no one will take your degree seriously. If you can't handle the entrance exams, then maybe you might want to reconsider grad school altogether? Just saying so that you don't waste your time getting a degree that isn't useful...

There are several from all school including NYU, Columbia, Pace, St. Johns, LIU, CUNY and a few others. It all depends on the programs. Many of the new social science programs don't require them, but they do "recommend" that you take the GRE and submit the scores for your advantage. As far as business school is concerned...all of the reputable MBA programs require the GRE, so if you find a school that doesn't require it, it probably isn't worth your time.

There's no math in the LSAT or bar exam. So the GRE/GMAT isn't exactly the best correlation if difficulties with math is the problem.

Your reply is terrible! I am personally not a test taker so I opted for a program that did not require that entrance exam for individuals with stellar GPAs. I graduated Summa *** Laude, so my grades have never been an issue and I attend the #9 school in my field of interest. It is very possible to attend a reputable school without needing a score. Most programs are beginning to recognize that test scores do not determine the educational capacity of a student! Just thought I would add my two cents! I attend CWRU check it out a pretty PHENOMENAL SCHOOL!

A significant number of Liberal Arts graduate degrees don't require a GRE. That doesn't mean they are worthless.
