SAT Scores:No Longer a Standard?
http://www.campuscompare.com/ college-resources/ admissions/ sat-scoresno-longer-a-...
SAT scores and ACT scores do not necessarily reveal how successful you will be in college. At least that’s what more and more colleges are saying. In fact many colleges, particularly liberal arts ones, including Bates College and Sarah Lawrence College have made the SAT test option. For a full list of Liberal arts colleges see the end of this blog. In fact, there are about 730 colleges that have dropped or de-emphasized the ACT and SAT scores, arguing that these tests don’t accurately measure a student’s intelligence and add unecessary stress to your high school years. Colleges are looking for a more well-rounded person and don’t think that a human being can be measured by the sum of their scores.
