UMD admissions for engineering, should I apply test optional?

Thoughts on applying to the University of Maryland with SAT scores or without. My SAT score is a1370. My GPA is 99.6, all honors and AP level classes. Varsity sports, Student government, math league, clubs and volunteering.

There is a UMD admissions thread. You may want to post your question there:

What is your math SAT? Also, if you report, you’d have to report all SAT scores.
Did you see profile of incoming engineering frosh? I may lean against unless your math SAT is in mid range.
