Taking the TOEFL would be the first step for sure. If the schools you’re interested in are not requiring the GRE, then you may choose not to take it. I would probably contact the school just to make sure. Several schools do not require it as entirely necessary, but they recommend it for admissions. In that case the decision whether to take it or not is up to you, but taking it will put you in a more competitive position on a spot in the program.
In general, unless taking the GRE would result in you missing application deadlines, or if studying for it will pose a major burden, I believe that taking it can’t hurt and may help you in getting into a school. But of course, this decision would depend on your individual situation.
