Can I apply to schools that require the GRE even though I haven't taken it yet?

Not sure if this is a stupid question, but just wanted to ask anyway. I am planning on applying to schools that do not require the GRE in May. But, I wasn't sure if I should apply to schools that require it, and let them know its pending. Would they still consider me once I send them in? Or would they just completely kick my application out as incomplete?

For sure, as long as you notify them of the date or estimated date you plan on taking it. On some applications I noticed a section where if you had not taken the gre but planned to, you put an estimated date or your scheduled date if you have it set already.

You can submit your application to programs that require the GRE prior to taking it. Your application will be considered incomplete until they receive your GRE score so they won't start reviewing things until after you send them.
