TEST SCORES

Hey there,

Since schools are going test optional, is it advisable that I ,as an international student, do not submit my scores? Also, will this mark me down at extremely selective schools if I haven't done much extracurriculars?

If you have already taken the test and have made a good score then it would help to go ahead and submit your score, however if you didn't do good then I would recommend not submitting it. If you do not have good extracurriculars it will definitely put you at a disadvantage for selective schools.
