SAT help!Answered
Hey everyone! I got an 1180 on my SAT. (620 English, 560 math) My dream school is Penn State, University Park and their SAT range is a 1200-1300. Should I retake the SAT or apply test optional? Or submit the score anyway?

I say shoot your shot and retake it and depending on the result, decide whether you want to apply test-optional. Study over the summer, take a SAT course/program, really make sure you know what you're doing. If the score doesn't go well, definitely focus on your essays and ECs.
