<p>If a school is test-optional and you choose to not submit your ACT/SAT scores, does it hurt you in the admissions process? I'm worried because Pitzer is test-optional and it's my number one school and I'm not submitting my scores.</p>
<p>It won't hurt you (they won't know), but it definitely won't help you. If there is an apparent lack of strong academic abilities in your resume (you're on CC. I doubt it.), then you might be leaving a gap left unfilled. Otherwise, if they say they aren't required, I don't see why you would need to submit them?</p>
<p>Usually, in order to be reviewed for merit scholarships at test-optional schools, SAT or ACT scores must be submitted.</p>
