Schools that don't require SAT?

Hey everyone! So, I've been looking into colleges lately, and with all the test-optional policies arising, I'm a bit overwhelmed. Can you guys help me find a list of reputable schools that don't require the SAT for their admissions process?

Sure, I can help you with that! As you mentioned, many colleges have adopted test-optional policies in recent years, which means they no longer require SAT or ACT scores for admission. You can find up-to-date lists of test-optional and test-blind schools on websites like Fairtest, which compile such lists. You can also find more information on test policies by visiting the websites of colleges you're interested in.

When applying to test-optional schools, it's essential to remember that other areas of your application—like your GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation—will be even more critical in their evaluation process. Additionally, some colleges may require test scores for specific programs or majors, so make sure to double-check the requirements of your intended major or program before applying.

Good luck with your college search, and I hope you find a school that's the perfect fit for you!
