<p>It’s possible someone has responded before, but I’ll add my 2cents re: Columbia. Perhaps this isn’t the case in poly sci, but some of their schools/departments do not require the GREs. This also goes for Berkeley and other UCs in several deparments. </p>
<p>I know I’m applying to vis anthro/social doc/(broadcast doc) journalism/mfa doc programs [yes, they are all related] and the majority of the programs I’m applying to will refuse to look at GRE scores. Sadly for me, my #1 option still requires it. But they say their acceptance scores have ranged from the high 500s to the high 700s… and yes, this is a top 10 school. So take it for what it’s worth.</p>
