Now I am starting my PhD in a state university with full funding but without GRE. I was not willing to take GRE but I have already complete my master's from the same school. It doesn't neet GRE. By the way, I have good experiance in Nepal and USA, but still I can't go in good school because I haven't taken GRE (in fact I don't want to go to good school, they have lot of aspectations and sometime, it might difficult to meet that aspectatation)
