Oh, I was only referring to preferential requirement of one test over another. A good number of colleges require neither (Bowdoin comes to mind for me) test, but accept both. I swear, if I hear one of our guidance counselors (!!!) say “Oh, you should take the SAT, they like it better out there”, I’m going to start a proprietary counseling booth outside their offices, a la Charlie Brown.
Another fun story that’s, yeah, a little off-topic: I was in Introductory Psychology, a catch-all class for people looking for easy Social Science credits and people who want to take AP Psych, at the beginning of first semester. I was late to class the first day, so I was fortunate enough to land at a table of social failure. There was one girl there named Megan (who, despite her being human-ish, bore a pretty strong resemblance to a pug) who said unequivocally that she wanted to “go to the University of Pennsylvania to be a pediatric oncologist”, and was making sure to take the SAT because “more people get into that school with it, so they prefer it”. I thought she was trolling, until I realized she wasn’t. This, kids, is what you don’t want to be.
