Low SAT or ACT Scores? These Colleges Don't Require the Tests.
If you got low SAT scores or low ACT scores, or if you simply didn't take the exam in time for application deadlines, realize that many colleges do not require entrance exams as part of their admissions applications.
The list below is just a sampling of the more than 815 four-year colleges that do not require the SAT or ACT. I have, however, included most of the highly selective schools that don't require scores. To see a complete list, visit the FairTest website . Also be sure to check out my list of 20 Great Colleges for Students with Low SAT Scores.
Colleges don't use test scores for many reasons. Some technical schools, music schools and art schools don't see the ACT and SAT as good measures of the types of skills they require. Other schools recognize that the SAT and ACT limit their applicant pools and give unfair advantage to students from schools or families that can afford test prep courses. You will also find on the FairTest list that many schools with strong religious affiliations do not require standardized tests.
Admissions policies change frequently, so check with each school for the latest testing guidelines. Also, realize that some of the schools below are test-optional only for students who meet certain GPA or class rank requirements.
