Please, help ASAP! Relating to Bowdoin College SAT Optional Policy

<p>I have applied to QuestBridge this year, and I plan to rank Bowdoin for College Match. My low SAT score and the fact that I haven't taken any SAT subject tests are probably my first weaknesses. I can choose to not send this SAT score, but I know then the admission officers would pay greater attention to other factors to see if I would fit in. Could you view my SAT score and other factors, like extracurricular activities, to see which is better, to send my SAT score to Bowdoin or not? (assuming that I do become a QuestBridge finalist)</p>

<p>SAT (superscore): Reading 630 Writing 680 Math 680 (taking again in October--tomorrow!)
SAT 2: None (taking Math 2 and Literature on November, though I'm afraid it'd be late to turn them in for QuestBridge College Match)
GPA: 3.83
AP/Accelerated Classes (No IB): AP Calculus AB (5), AP World History (4), AP Lang (3), AP US History (3), AP Chemistry (3), AP French, Advanced Calculus, AP Art And Design, AP Gov, AP Lit
Awards: AP Scholar With Distinction, Nominated for Outstanding Scholar (by local leadership awards event)
Class Ranking: N/A
Ethnicity: Korean (native)
Extracurricular activities:
-City Youth Council (a government-run student community service organization; I'm a candidate for Vice President, but the election result hasn't come out yet)
-Teen Docent at a local arts museum
-I had been a teacher's assistant at Korean School
-was in school Cross Country team for two years, though not as good as to be in varsity
-copy editor for school literary magazine club
Essays: focused mainly on how my distinct cultural background shaped me to the person whom I am now; my desire to major art history and why
Teacher's Rec: I waived my rights to view them but both teachers and my counselor like me. I'm sure they are decent, if not great.
Other facts: I had an alumni interview for Bowdoin.</p>

<p>I think you’ll get in</p>

<p>When the schools say “optional”, the applicants are highly expected to submit the score.</p>

<p>Why don’t you ask QB if they are fine with november test?</p>

<p>The competition will be fierce…I had higher SAT and GPA and I didn’t become a finalist. </p>

<p>Thank you, APsooof, for your positive comment! Yes, I think they only select 1/4 or something of the applicants… Considering stats of other applicants I probably won’t be a finalist. Thank you for your suggestion and comment, paul2752, I’ll make sure to do that.</p>
