<p>was just curious, there are so many names that I don't recognize.
tnx</p>
<p>Probably the most selective SAT-optional colleges are Bowdoin, Bates, Mount Holyoke, and Holy Cross. Once you move a tier lower than that in selectivity, there are almost as many LACs that are SAT-optional as not, particularly in the Northeast. There are lots of good options out there for just about anyone who doesn't think their standardized test scores reflect their academic ability.</p>
<p>Thank you. Is Colgate or Lehigh n that category? I haven't check for any updates in that list</p>
<p>Gettysburg is another fine LAC that recently made SAT submissions optional</p>
<p>Not Colgate..
Middlebury is.. but you just need to replace the SATs with something else..</p>
<p>lehigh isn't either</p>
<p>Bowdoin and Holy Cross</p>
<p>Dickinson is scores-optional, and while many think that Dickinson is pretty low-tier, it's actually on par with if not better than many Northeast LACs with lower acceptance rates.</p>
<p>Definitely consider Dickinson if you plan on studying International Relations or International Business/Management.</p>
<p>Why is this on the Colgate forum?! Colgate is not SAT optional.</p>
<p>Colgate requires your SAT scores to be sent.. or maybe just the ACT with Writing.</p>
<p>Mount Holyoke and Bates. And they are both fabulous, beautiful schools. I don't know if Bowdoin is SAT optional. I don't think Bowdoin is that nice in terms of personality though. Whatever floats you boat, I guess.</p>
<p>St. Lawrence (SLU) is another excellent LAC that is now SAT optional</p>
