Universities accepting only GRE Subject Test

Could you please mention a few universities(US as well as other parts of world) which take admit based on only GRE CS subject scores? I'll be taking AGRE on coming 8th Nov. and need to send the changes(correction stub) asap. For the 4 default entries, I would like to mention only those universities that admit only on GRE Subject scores as I haven't yet taken GRE General.

Kindly suggest.

Thanks & Regards
WhiteSwami

[I misinterpreted your question. Ignore this post and see second post below.]

For departments that may allow the GRECS to waive CS course prerequites:
Distance Learning Directory - Computer Science > GRE Subject Test for Computer Science

(Regarding the University of Central Florida listed above, it seems 50th percentile may be enough for MS admission based on my e-mail reply from them from over a year ago, depending on how competitive the other applicants are for a given year.)

Oh.To my knowledge, the only ranked CS departments that don't require the general GRE are UIUC, MIT, Purdue, and Brown (Can I admitted to graduate school without taking GRE?). (It's these higher-ranked departments that have wisely decided that the general GRE is redundant or otherwise unnecessary since most of their applicants can score well with enough practice.)

Among unranked CS departments, George Washington University doesn't require the GRE for MS admissions unless you want to apply for fellowships or assistantships. And an old post mentions that Stevens Institute of Technology doesn't require the GRE. (However, considering the tuition costs at GWU and Stevens, I would rather go to USC (NEU vs. USC : job placements) for that kindof money. USC, like the vast majority of other grad schools, does require the GRE.)

BTW, I assume ETS won't be printing the GRECS score reports until at least December 1st since the results won't be available by phone until Saturday morning, December 6th.

AGRE = Advanced GRE = GRE Subject Test (GRECS)

To be clear, however, USC does require the general GRE.
