Standardized Testing...

Hey everyone, CC is my most recent college of intest, and I am just a little confused about their reqs.
The website says,
"Q: Do I need to submit standardized tests?
A: Connecticut College does not require that students submit standardized tests. If your standardized test scores do not reflect your full potential, we do not recommend that you choose to submit them to us. Learn more about our standardized test policy.

You are asked to indicate your choice of standardized tests you would like us to consider on the Supplement to the Common Application. You may choose to submit the SAT Reasoning Test, two SAT subject tests, the ACT, or no tests at all. If you choose to submit the SAT Reasoning Test, we will consider your highest critical reading, mathematics and writing subscores from multiple test dates. If you choose to submit SAT Subject Tests, you may submit any two of your choice. If you choose to submit the ACT, the writing component is not required. You will not be disadvantaged in the admission process by choosing to not submit standardized tests."


So from that I understand that SATs are not req.
But in my Princeton review and Fiske guide it says SAT subject tests or ACT is required. If anyone could clear this up that would be most appreciated.

Also, any advice on getting admitted (what type of students does CC look for) would also be appreciated.

Thanks.

Haha, how funny. I had no idea it was just today. That is good news. I was not looking forward to studying for 3 subject tests or the ACT.
