@unispike.app: Going test-optional is a strategy, not a bailout. DISCLAIMER: Thousands of students get accepted to top-tier schools every year without submitting an SAT or ACT score. This list is a recommendation, not a rue. Keep in mind that admissions is really just a game of risk management. You have to ask yourself: does my transcript alone prove I can survive engineering at a T50? If your GPA is shaky or you're applying from a hyper-competitive region, "optional" doesn't always mean optional for you. #sat #act #testoptional #ivyleague #collegeapps

Okay! So my daughter has a 3.7 weighted gpa. Has taken 5 aps but won’t be submitting those scores or her SAT score (got an A in every AP class) Going to school for social work/psychology- strong recommendations from three teachers, and one of which deals directly with social work topics. Varsity sports since eighth grade, national honor Society, camp counselor of the year for five years for 4h summer camp and some summer college programs. Applying to 8 schools, but really would like to go to App State or University if South Carolina. Thoughts?

Oh my goodness. Y’all stop overthinking and do what’s best for you. My kid got into 8 schools (all competitive) and one Ivy test optional, NO APs, a decent SAT, and a weighted 4.0. Not liberal arts.

3.99 unweighted gpa, 8% class rank, 6 ap, full IB diploma, bunch of extra curriculars, but did really bad on both sat and act. Is there chance of getting into private colleges as bio science (pre med) major with test optional 🥺? Please I need answers 🙏

Is not submitting test scores more okay for like average schools? Like I get it’s important for highly competitive schools but schools with like over 75% acceptances rates, does it matter that much?
