The descriptions of individual institutions in this guide are reasonbly comprehensive, and are an easier way of comparing schools than navigating through a variety of inconsistent web sites. However, the glaring omission that shows the College Board’s conflict of interest in publishing a college guide *and* owning and administering the SAT exams is apparent in the lack of information about which schools require SAT scores and which do not. The SAT is rapidly becoming a relic and is being dropped by more schools as a requirement every year. As such, it’s important for prospective students and parents to know whether this expensive, time-consuming, less-than-ideal exam is required on a school-by-school basis. If you want to know that you’ll need to invest in a guide published by an organization that does not have a vested interest in the ongoing use of the SAT.
