<p>Which universities/colleges in the US News National Universities: Top Schools ranking are SAT optional?</p>
<p>Drew University in NJ
Its good, and I know a guy who got a 1520 go there cause he applied to no match or safety schools.</p>
<p>Yeah, definitely include Drew in that list, and I believe Middlebury if I'm not mistaken, [b/c I remember there was that whole thing about how you don't need them, but you still have to report your score when you matriculate and that's why the average dropped like 100 pts in one year]</p>
<p>Bowdoin, Middlebury, Bates, Conn College, Hamilton, Mt. Holyoke, among others. There are more than 700 colleges and universities in the US that don't require SAT scores, and the number is increasing.</p>

<p>Sarah Lawrence...it isn't even "optional", they don't want them at all.</p>
