Do you have to take the sat get into college?

While the SAT is widely accepted as a college entrance exam, it's not mandatory for all colleges. The vast majority of colleges and universities in the United States require applicants to submit standardized test scores as part of their application. However, some institutions have become test-optional, meaning they do not require applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores.

Whether or not you need to take the SAT depends on the specific requirements of the colleges you are applying to. Check with each college to see if they require SAT scores, and if so, what their score requirements and submission policies are. Some colleges may have alternate test score reporting options or may consider other academic criteria instead of standardized testing.

Here's a list of some colleges and universities that are test-optional:

- Bates College

- Bowdoin College

- Colby College

- College of the Atlantic

- Hamilton College

- Middlebury College

- Skidmore College

- Trinity College

- Vassar College

- Wesleyan University

Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and some colleges may change their testing policies over time. Always consult the admissions requirements of the specific colleges you are interested in for the most up-to-date information.
