Our son submitted his SAT scores

Has anyone been accepted to the Distinguished Scholars program with a 1400 range SAT? I originally submitted a 1440 SAT score with my application, but am now rethinking if I should email the admissions office to go test optional.

In 2019, those invited appeared to be the top 2 in their classes, 35/36 acts. Merit was based on gpa’s and scores. Only 100 applicants, my 3.95 34 5th in class received top merit outside of this group, her friend 35 2nd in class made it. I wouldn’t go TO because 1400 is a decent score and could help with merit, my son applied in 2021 with a 3.7 and 1390 and was offered merit.
