@laxgirl14 What is a TO Button?
@thinkofaname it’s a button you can click in the portal that allows you to change whether you WANT to include test scores with your application or apply WITHOUT submitting SAT or ACT scores.

My friend applied a month before me for same major in smeal. We have pretty much the same grades, she has more impressive EC’s, however I got 30 points higher on my sat. And I got in before her. Does anyone know why this is happening? Psu is her top and she showed a ton of interest too
