<p>Hi, i wanna ask a question
although many schools state that they are SAT-optional (such as Dickinson, Bates, Conncoll...)
but is it wise not to send score?
will a lot of people choose not to send scores?
will the college officers undermine your application because you don't send in your score?</p>

<p>because i think there are still many people prefer to send score although the schools have the SAt-optional policy as they think that their SAT scores are good and that give them some additional advantage
anw, college officers also know that people dont send score for a reason: their scores are low, so they can easily make some preferences upon viewing the applications</p>

<p>So is it wise to do so??</p>

<p>If the school is SAT optional, its SAT optional. Not sending the scores won’t hurt you.</p>

<p>If u have a mediocre SAT score then it wont add nor detract from ur app. Only bother sending a score if its really good. Otherwise not sending a score just puts all of the focus on ur other things, and even if u send a score it wont be taken too much into account</p>

<p>^Well put! They obviously don’t put too much empahsis on SATs, so why bother sending scores bellow the 2200-2400 range?</p>

<p>as a general rule, definitely send if you are above the schools mean. They can and will be used as a plus factor.</p>
