Should I submit ACT scores to Princeton or apply test optional?

Because Princeton doesn't super score the ACT, they would see my highest test score of 33. Not sure if I should report it or not... I have an unweighted GPA of 4.0 and feel pretty good about my essays, but I'm worried that my ACT would weaken my application. I would greatly appreciate any feedback!

Your 33 ACT score is certainly within the 50th percentile range for Princeton. Therefore, I would my recommend submitting it. Good luck and don't think twice about it.

Hi @nerdalert522,

Since 33 is within Princeton's median score range and the school is test-optional this cycle, you should definitely submit your scores!

Hope this helps!

33 won’t weaken your application; id say send it in
