Colleges That Don't Require SAT or ACT Scores For Acceptance

These colleges are test-optional, meaning they do not require you to have an ACT or SAT score to get accepted. They will base their admissions decision on your GPA, class rank, and/or an essay. Keep in mind that some schools may still require a standardized test score for scholarship consideration.
