Should I send a 117 TOEFL score to colleges that do not require it?

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I just got my TOEFL score, and was wondering if I should send it to colleges that do not require it (Such as Harvard..)
Reading: 29
Listening: 30
Speaking: 28
Writing: 30
Total: 117</p>

<p>(SAT Score: 2260)</p>

<p>P.S. This isn't one of those "is 117 a terrible score?" I'm happy with my score, but I honestly have no context to know whether it's a good idea to send it to colleges that "consider it" but do not "require" it to be sent.</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>

<p>Generally TOEFL is used to ensure that students will be able to understand the material that is presented to them without language issues, and is never really a reason to pick one candidate over another per se.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input.</p>

<p>Btw, silly question: does ETS send the Speaking section recordings to colleges? (As in, the actual speaking responses.)</p>

<p>I don’t mind if they do, but I’m just curious :)</p>
