<p>Hi guys, I got a 1960 (670 CR, 640 M, 650 W) on my SATs, have a 4.4 GPA W and 4.0 UW... I know that Wake is test optional and originally I did not send in my SAT scores with my application. I did not have an interview because I requested one too late, but now I'm questioning whether or not I should just send my SAT scores? Thoughts?</p>
<p>Hi, @danielle1515 -</p>
<p>I am going to post a great opinion by the user @wfu2013 that was written a few days ago here for your convenience, in case you have not yet seen it. This is an opinion that may help you decide:</p>
<p>"I would say that if your scores are above the middle 50% of the last CDS report (<a href=“Home - Office of Institutional Research”>Home - Office of Institutional Research), then turn them in. To be honest, I highly doubt anything anything above at or above 1300-13500ish (M+V) would hurt you in admissions, and it most likely either will help you or be a moot point.</p>
<p>I do believe Wake is truly “SAT optional” but not “SAT unconsidered”, but they still care a bit about the SAT scores they need to submit for the rankings. Thus, if you do not submit a score, there may be a subconscious bias cause the adcom will most likely assume that the applicant had an un-competitive score.</p>
<p>Also, for future applicants, I do believe SAT scores are strongly recommended, if not required for many of the merit-based scholarship. Most of the full-ride merit scholarships recipients have SAT scores of at least 1500/1600 (M+V)."</p>
<p>That being said, the way I decided was that I looked at my GPA and my SAT scores, decided that I was more proud of my high SAT scores and that they would probably help me, and sent them. Unfortunately, there is no real science to it, but I think that @wfu2013 had a really solid opinion.</p>
