I just saw my results and they were pretty much the opposite of what my parents and teachers, and I think of who I am. I personally do not want to send them in. I know that they are ‘strongly recommended’ but optional so would it affect my chances to get into schools?
The Character Skills Snapshot is basically a reflection of how you see yourself, not how you actually are. If you don’t want to submit it, and think it won’t help you, don’t. The schools will probably be keeping in mind that the test is new and could still use some work, and I think that not submitting probably won’t dramatically hurt your chances.
