Dropping the SAT requirement is a luxury belief
Standardized tests remain the only criteria totally in the control of the student.  You can study for them and objectively do better, become a better applicant.  Everthing else is either circumstantial or based in the opinion of others, mostly highschool teachers.   If i had to rely on my highschool teachers&#x27; opinion of me i would not have ever gone to university let alone have won scholarships.  Standardized testing allowed me to overcome thier base opinions.<p>Want to be a lawyer but are not sure about law school and do 
ot know any lawyers?  Look to the LSAT.  Do well and where you went to university&#x2F;highschool doesnt matter.  Do really well and scholarships will appear.  That is the freedom of good standardized testing.
