American Colleges That Dont Require SAT From Int. Students?

Browsing a few college websites and I came across this

http://www6.miami.edu/UMH/CDA/UMH_Ma...5199-2,00.html

The SAT score report is not required and should not be submitted for admission consideration from applicants who are attending schools outside the United States.

Suprised me.

Does anyone else know of any other colleges that have a similar Admission Structure for International Students?

(BTW Im a British Student Hoping to study in the US for '10)

Quote:
This list includes colleges and universities that deemphasize the use of standardized tests by making admissions decisions about substantial numbers of applicants who recently graduated from U.S. high schools without using the SAT or ACT.

As the internal school listing notes indicate, some schools exempt students who meet grade-point average or class rank criteria while others require SAT or ACT scores but use them only for placement purposes or to conduct research studies. Please check with the school's admissions office to learn more about specific admissions requirements, particularly for international or non-traditional students.
Some, though not all colleges on this list are completely SAT-optional.

^ Yeah, but that's quite impractical. When you send your SAT II scores, even your SAT I score goes along, so it'll only help if you've taken the ACT.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute. If you did not take the sat or do not want to send your sat scores, then u can apply using the flex path. I am not pretty sure about how it works but if u are interested, u can check it out.
