SMP

[dream2pa]

If i have one of those SMPs like Masters in Medical Science do i still need to take GRE for PA school ? or would they take my graduate degree into consideration and waive that requirement ? 

 

PS : I have already taken GRE to get admission into SMP. However my score is mediocre :'(

You still have to take the GRE if your program requires it. I know I did.

Some schools accept substitutes for the GRE--most commonly either the MCAT or a graduate degree. Some schools will not accept either of these as a substitute, and of course some schools do not require the test at all. That said, GRE performance is a learned skill. A few months of focused test prep can make a huge difference in your scores. If you're applying next cycle, you've got the time. Otherwise, you'll have to stick to schools that will sub your MS or don't require the GRE at all (somewhat limiting, but definitely possible).

i took it already and score 293 writing 3.5 :(

You could easily get to 310ish and 4/4.5 with just a month or two prep work. Definitely not time to throw in the towel yet.

It depends on the program. Some schools require it even if you have previously earned a graduate degree and some programs waive it if you have earned a graduate degree.
