Admissions Advice

With schools going test optional now due to Coronavirus, are they ACTUALLY test optional?

Are they simply saying test optional to put students at ease? Admissions offices say not submitting a score will not hurt your chances but is that really true?

to paraphrase the previous answer:

submitting a good score will be beneficial to your application and colleges will most likely take that into consideration, but colleges can also determine your acceptance based off a lower score, but scores do have much less of an impact.

so i would say if you have a higher score that you are proud of, go ahead and submit it. but if your score is on the lower side, you have the opportunity to prevent colleges from seeing that weaker part of your app.

good luck!!

These statements - "but colleges can not deny your acceptance based off a lower score" and "know that your score can no longer be a deciding factor"- aren't correct. They're only true if you don't submit the lower score in the first place. If you do submit scores, then colleges will consider them and may base their decision on them. "Test-optional" just means that applicants don't have to submit test scores - not that colleges won't consider scores if submitted by an applicant.
