Are there any Universities that don't require SAT at all for international students and they offer full financial aid?

This Top 10 list is 2 cycles old from US News World & Report. It is a list of the best colleges that offer financial aid to international students. The first column is the school, followed by the # students receiving aid, followed by the avg. grant amount and their US News Ranking. What you can infer is that most of them are Top colleges in the Top 20 out of 4300 colleges. Only one outlier in there which is a small liberal arts college in upstate NY called Skidmore College which is a T40 LAC. They are all test-optional and none of them require either the SAT or ACT.

I would investigate all of them before I apply to any of them to make sure you meet their other requirements like HS coursework, course rigor, extracurriculars, GPA, class rank, etc. to see how you compare to their typical admits. Detailed reports on each college can be found by searching the internet for the school followed by their common data set. For instance, Skidmore College Common Data Set 2020 brings you to this link.

Hey Ryaan,

So most universities in the US have ignored SAT test scores since the last year bc students find it difficult to cope up with things after the lockdown. That means you can apply to full financial aid giving universities w/o ur SAT results. You wont be penalized for not providing your SAT score.
