SAT's and ACT's

[MuonNeutrino]

<p>So I was recently looking at statistics for SAT or ACT scores and admissions to one of the Ivy Leagues. I noticed one section gave an option saying something about how they did not take it or something along those lines.</p>

<p>I know there are certain colleges/universities that do not require these tests but I was just wondering if anyone knows what is up with that? I live in Canada so I don't know a whole lot about this.</p>

<p>Is it possible to apply to a university that says they require an ACT or SAT without have taken it? I didn't think so, but why do these stats have this on there?
What would be the exceptions to this?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>UPDATE: Here are the Princeton statistics:

<p>It says "no CEEB scores" </p>

We encourage applicants attending schools outside the U.S. or Canada to complete their required standardized testing by the December test date if possible (SAT Reasoning Test or ACT plus writing, and two SAT Subject Tests, and TOEFL, if applicable). In our experience, scores from the January test date for testers outside the U.S. do not always reach us in time. However, if January is the only time you can take the test, please sit for the test in January and have your scores reported to us by the testing agency.</p>

<p>If the SAT tests are not offered in your country, we will consider your application without SAT results. However, we will have less information to consider when evaluating your application than we will have for applicants who are able to take the required tests. In some countries where the SAT is not offered, the ACT is available. If you cannot take the SAT, but the ACT is available, please take the ACT plus writing.

<p>Unless you’ve done something on a national/international scale, I doubt you can spill by without taking the ACT or SAT</p>
