List of schools that require the SAT?

I hope everyone is staying safe! I'm a junior planning my college applications, and I'm trying to find out which schools still require SAT scores for the upcoming admission cycle. Could anyone provide me with some insight into this?

Hello! While the majority of US colleges have transitioned to test-optional policies recently due to the pandemic, the list of schools that require SAT scores may fluctuate from year to year. It's important to note that some colleges have adopted test-optional policies only temporarily, while others have made a permanent shift. To get the most accurate information, it's best to visit the admissions websites of the specific colleges you're interested in applying to and look for their standardized testing requirements.

However, keep in mind that even if a college doesn't require SAT scores, submitting a strong SAT score can still benefit your application, especially if your GPA or other academic factors aren't as competitive as you'd like them to be. Additionally, submitting test scores may be required or beneficial for certain merit-based scholarships, so don't dismiss the SAT entirely.

As you plan your college applications, it's a good idea to have an up-to-date list of the testing policies for the colleges on your list. Remember to check each college's website directly for the most accurate and current information on their SAT requirements. Good luck with your college applications!
