<p>Sure thing.</p>
<p>First off, MIT. I'll give you a quote directly from the MIT Blogs so you won't be so skeptical of my statements.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/before/helping_your_parents_through_this_process/marilee_jones_in_the_news_1.shtml%5B/url%5D">http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/before/helping_your_parents_through_this_process/marilee_jones_in_the_news_1.shtml</a></p>
<p>If you'll read the paragraph that's 4th from the bottom, it says:</p>
<p>"Jones hopes someday to see MIT make standardized tests like the SAT optional for applicants. A growing number of colleges have stopped requiring standardized tests, though none of MIT's reputation, and for MIT to do so would send shock waves through the field."</p>
<p>If you didn't know, Marilee Jones is MIT's Director of Admissions. Jones is probably the biggest critic of the SAT in the entire academic world... which is big, since it's coming from MIT.</p>
<hr>
<p>UChicago:</p>
<p>The first evidence is straight from the CollegeBoard website. </p>
<p><a href="http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=1713&profileId=1%5B/url%5D">http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=1713&profileId=1</a></p>
<p>Down at the bottom of the page, UChicago's criteria for admission is given. Whereas Caltech has standardized test scores as "Very Important" and MIT has it as "Important", UChicago has standardized test scores under "Considered".</p>
<p>Secondly, I purposely tested UChicago's admissions criteria when, instead of sending in my ACT results, which definitely would've got me in, I sent them my SAT results (670 math, 560 english). I got in EA, so apparently they're not lying when they say they don't care about SAT scores.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, I can't find any more on UChicago's stance on SATs at the moment. But when they send you stuff in the mail, they always say that they don't care about SAT scores. I also visited UChicago last year on a college visit, and our guides specifically told us that they couldn't care less about SAT scores.</p>
<p>I'll try to look for some links later, though, that will clarify UChicago's position on this issue.</p>
<hr>
<p>As for the hoardes of small colleges part... I won't go into detail since covering each college would be rather difficult. Instead, I'll just make the statement that the many colleges that have stopped requiring the SAT for admissions is evidence enough.</p>
<p>EDIT: After rereading my post, I found that evidence of the 'many colleges stopping this requirement' is actually given in the quote I gave from the MIT blogs. That is," A growing number of colleges have stopped requiring standardized tests, though none of MIT's reputation".</p>

<p>EDIT #2:</p>
<p>"Let me take a wild guess: your ACT score was better than your SAT score."</p>
<p>Yeah, it was. I thought I said that earlier. I'm not pro-ACT, though, as I said earlier, as I believe both ACT and SAT are stupid standardized tests. I think the reason most people are tending to take the ACT nowadays than the SAT, though, is not because of the inaccuracy of the SAT, but because of the scandals going around CollegeBoard.</p>
