Should I submit my Sat score
I got a 1450 Sat score(96 percentile globally) with a 740 in maths and 710 in EBRW. Should I submit my Sat score to colleges like Harvard?
Ps. I plan to major in Electrical engineering.

Yes!
I believe that 1460 is the 25th percentile score of accepted students at Harvard. However, our research shows that even at test-optional schools, submitting a decent SAT or ACT score helps increase an applicant's chances significantly. The change in chancing is dramatic enough that we recommend students submit their SAT scores even down to 60 points below the 25th percentile of accepted scores at a given school.
Thus, if you have time, I would recommend you retake and try to score a bit higher. Getting above a 1460 will make you a much more competitive applicant. That said, if the choice is between submitting or not submitting to Harvard, I would advise that you do submit!
You should. You've got a good math score and are going into a math related field, so your reading score isn't a huge deal.
