Are there colleges which heavily emphasize on SAT?

@AlmostThere2018 my impression of WashU is that a high SAT is expected - a lower one can scupper your chances , but a high one will not offset low grades. The middle 50% SAT in their admitted students this year is 1470-1570, so one could say a high SAT score is actually normal there, or alternatively that you’d need above 1570 SAT to really stand out. OP’s sat score as reported in another thread is 1520.
