Are the SATs a Must for College Admissions?

I see no poiunts in the SAT, every student can study as hard as other. SAT it just only a test like no other test. The only helping the student is having them study hard not putting something like the SAT and give them more pressure.

The Admissions Experts are a fraud, a friend of mine wasted a lot of money on them. I've used Alliant Consulting out of Redlands, they are fantastic and prices are very reasonable. www.alliantcollegeprep.com

I did well on the SAT, CEEB and whatever. I did so well that as a teenager, my highschool let me teach the Highschool Chemistry Course for the whole year as I had learned chemistry on my own before I took the course. I even passed the GRE Practice Exams for Chemical Engineering. At that time, I was the best science student in the highschool ever. Then I was scouted somehow by the University Of Rochester for a science scholarship which suddenly fell through the hole when they figured out that I was Jewish.
I went into the US Navy, got my GI Bill and now have a Masters Degree, and I retired from working at NASA as a Group Leader Engineer.
The point of all this is that evidently doing well on tests has nothing to do with being accepted by a college; the human factor comes into play. And we all know how erratic humans can be.

I never took the GRE, SAT, or ACT, and I just graduated with a masters degree. I earned a 3.94 GPA along the way.

Has anyone here used a college admissions consulting company? Someone recommended www.TheAdmissionsExperts.com to me. Has anyone else used their services before? Thanks
