<p>I am starting at my local CC and the Honors college Director sat me down and asked me why I was planning to transfer to the state flagship school (UF) when I had better private and liberal arts schools as options to transfer to, including Florida's Rollins College and New College of Sarasota (Which are supposed to be incredible schools). I said I hadn't taken the SAT and was not planning to. I was then told a lot of good private schools don't look at the SAT anymore as a worthwhile source for academic potential; as long as the first two years at the CC show excellent grades.</p>
<p>I came here to ask;</p>
<p>What top tier schools don't require the SAT from someone with 60+ credits, an AA, or a CC transfer?</p>
<p>What I have found:</p>
<p>Amherst (68 CC transfers in last five years)</p>
<p>John Hopkins (Supposedly)
NYU (Supposedly)
Cornell (Supposedly)
Brown (might hurt chances without SAT/ACT)</p>
<p>Does anyone have any insight to this?

<p>Not sure why you say supposedly, do the websites not state one way or the other?</p>
<p>Just checked one, JHU, and it seems pretty straightforward:</p>
<p>[Johns</a> Hopkins University Office of Undergraduate Admissions - Apply - Standardized Test Requirements](<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/apply/testreqs.html]Johns”>http://apply.jhu.edu/apply/testreqs.html)</p>

<p>You can also include UCLA, Berkeley and USC as well provided that you have 60+ credits</p>
<p>Most colleges do not ask for your SAT’s/ACT’s score after you have accomplished a certain amount of credits at your college.</p>
<p>@entomom - I wasn’t familiar with the list, but I found it on CC just now so I know the list to go down to write this up. Thanks for the John Hopkins update.</p>
<p>@Pinoiako916 - Thanks. I plan to stay closer to the east, although if small liberal art schools are closer to that side I will look into them.</p>
<p>@Nature64 - Most? I looked at Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, as well as Williams just for a peak and those had no mention of such. Amherst seemed to have a limited window, but otherwise no luck. What have you encountered?</p>
<p>Wake Forest doesn’t require the SAT.</p>
<p>Thank you. I am making a list and I will edit my original post afterward.</p>
<p>I can’t say for sure which do or do not. Sorry. But if you are thinking about certain universities in one State or certain states, I could help.</p>
<p>I am being talked into thinking big, so really; small classroom private universities.</p>
<p>Northeastern University if you have 24 credits or above.</p>
<p>I will take that one down too. Wow just realized you can’t edit posts. Oh well. I’ll post here when I have a better list.</p>
<p>Waynesburg is a Christian University located in PA. About 1000-2000 undergrad and about 70% of classes have less than 20 students. So, it might suit you. I was planning to go there, but it is 30k per year and they do not offer a lot of scholarships to transfer students.</p>
