<p>i cant seem to find it on here, would anyone mind posting a link or naming a few top schools?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fairtest.org%5B/url%5D">www.fairtest.org</a></p>
<p>Bowdoin, Bates, my mind blanks out.</p>
<p>middlebury...
and bard??? i'm not too sure about that one actually.</p>
<p>but at middlebury you must submit 3 separate subject tests...so the SAT can fulfill that requirement. AP exams and SAT II's can as well... must be in 3 different subjects though.</p>
<p>anymore notable colleges?</p>
<p>pitzer, with some stipulations</p>
<p>speaking of stipulations....theres probably quite a few for the top schools.</p>
<p>what % of the incoming classes at these top schools did students not submit scores?</p>
<p>yes, bard doesnt require it.</p>
<p>pitzer doesnt if you have a 3.6 or higher unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>Holy Cross and Bowdoin are 2 of the more selective schools that don't require SAT's.</p>
<p>some schools (like lewis & clark) will take a portfolio of work in lieu of the SAT</p>
<p>Hamilton requires three tests but they can be AP, SAT Subject Tests, or conceivably eye examinations.</p>
<p>sarah lawerence doesn't require any test scores</p>
<p>muhlenburg (with stipulation)
dickinson (only without merit aid)</p>
<p>antioch college doesn't require SAT/ACT...but, I think you're aiming higher than that.</p>
<p>St. John's College, but this is such a unique school you might not be considering it....but it places little emphasis on grades, and you don't need to give the SAT/ACT unless you don't have a highschool diploma. Most of the emphasis is on the essays.</p>

<p>Wheaton (MA) doesn't require them, as far as I know. At Middlebury, you can submit AP/IB scores instead.</p>
<p>Yep, Wheaton (MA) doesn't require them:</p>
<p>"The submission of standardized test results is optional. Applicants who wish their scores to be considered should arrange for official score reports to be sent from the appropriate testing agency (the College Board and/or ACT) directly to the Wheaton Admission Office. Reports must be received no later than the application deadline for the corresponding decision plan. Unofficial test scores (i.e., those reported on high school transcripts) will not be considered. Non-native English speakers must submit the results of the TOEFL or ELPT exams."</p>

<p>it seems most of the schools on this list are LACs. Are there any notable, top universities that dont require the SAT (ive defintely gone through it, but just in case i missed something)?</p>
<p>LACs are able to spend more time with each application and also get to know the applicant individually. At large universities, there are so many applicants that they need to base things largely on numbers alone, including testing scores.</p>
<p>I can't remember where I read it, but I did read once that the admissions essay you write for Michigan gets an average of < 3 minutes total spent on it from the admissions committee, and that's if they like it enough from the beginning to continue reading to the end.</p>

<p>You're wishing a little to hard there, first tier universities cannot cut through an application pool these days without some form of standardized testing. If you're looking for some respectible university (one that people know) and no SAT/ACT requirement, then that's wishful thinking.</p>
