Test Optional or not?

<p>This is my last chance to get opinions as tonight is the deadline. I’m applying ED II with a 3.93 Weighted GPA and average extracurriculars. I have a CR + M score of 1170. Should I apply test-optional or not? Just looking for some opinions. Thanks everybody!</p>

<p>Hmm. I think you should probably apply test score optional, since it is a bit low. It’s not bad, but not optimal. It should probably help you out. </p>

<p>Chance me back please? It’s a thread here on the AU forum. Thank you!</p>

<p>Thanks for your response. Any others? I would really like to know soon!</p>

<p>i don’t think you should apply test optional. I had the same score for CR and Math and was admitted ED. Your score is not beyond amazing, but not horrible. In my opinion if you apply test optional you’re basically telling them you didn’t get a good score… and I think that your score is good. SATS are so dumb anyways and I don’t think they are the main focus during admission for AU</p>
