do I need to take SATs?

<p>Hi everybody!
I'm currently attending university in Italy and I'm taking into consideration the idea of applying to Columbia GS as a transfer student.
We're not used to take standardized tests such as SATs or ACT in my country so I asked the Director of Admissions what I should have done and he said taht, being from Italy, I'm not required to submit SATs but only TOEFL. Is it possible? I'm so worried because I checked their website and SATs are required for all students, no matter what country they are from.
Thanks in advance</p>
