Incoming students at Smith College and Wake Forest University will no longer have to take the ACT or SAT for admissions.

See the NY Times article online now.

I think this is a great idea--I did not do well on the SAT.

However, I made A's and B's in high school and college (thankfully the college I went to kindly looked at other activities in addition to the SAT, or in spite of, lol).

I think too much emphasis has been placed on "standardized" testing. They are not true indicators of ability. I think the GRE, GSAT, ACT, and SAT should all be abolished. I understand the MCAT though

There are actually over 700 colleges/universities across the U.S. now that do not require SAT or ACT scores for admissions purposes. You can find a listing of these institutions online at FairTest.Org.
