马里兰大学的官方说法是这样的：If neither the SAT nor the ACT is available in your country, submit a written request for a waiver of this requirement with your application. Applicants who don’t submit some form of official standardized testing may be at a competitive disadvantage.所以，理论上你是可以不考SAT的，但是呢，学校又说了，如果不交SAT/ACT等任何标准化考试成绩的话，会被认为“competitive disadvantage”的。美国学校说话一向委婉，这其实相当于你不交SAT就没戏。
