What schools like high test scores?

Schools vary in the importance they place on test scores. Fortunately, each school reports this in the Common Data Set so you can look it up for each school on your list. Look for “Standardized Tests”, which will have a value of Very Important, Important, Considered, or Not Considered.

For example: http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg02_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=781

Very Important: Stanford, Princeton, Vanderbilt, WashU, UCLA

Important: Harvey Mudd, Bowdoin, Swarthmore, Middlebury

Good luck!
