<p>So I am working on finalizing my list of colleges for next year/begin to figure out how much applications will cost (I know it is early, but I plan to write most of my essays over the summer). Anyway about 1/3 of my schools happen to be test optional. For some of them my scores are well above the 75th percentile, others I barely hit 25th percentile. So my question is when should you and when shouldn't you submit test scores?</p>
<p>If your looking for merit aid I think its important to submit scores.</p>
<p>With test optional schools their numbers are inflated.</p>
<p>Send if you are above the 25th percentile</p>
