Wake Forest University recently announced it would no longer require the SAT for admissions.

“My family thought it was very important for me to do well on this test, and I basically obtained nearly every SAT study guide out there by the time I was a junior in high school,” she said. “For Christmas one year, I received an electronic device that allowed me to practice the SAT’s ‘on-the-go.’ “
