a part of the section on the above states, and i quote:

Our list includes 4-year colleges and universities, ranging in size and
mission from small private liberal art colleges to large state university
systems, that do not use the SAT or ACT to make admissions decisions about
some or all of their applicants seeking admission as freshmen. >>>>>>> Some
of these school require all applicants to submit test scores whether or not
they use the test scores to make admissions decisions. <<<<<<  Students
should check with individual schools to find our their precise requirements.

=======
the notion that some schools would require scores like SAT to be submitted
(ie, paid for and taken)  ... and publicly say that they are not used in
admission decisions ... merely adds $$$insult to real use injury

has anyone litigated such requirements under those circumstances?
