Admissions Advice

Should I submit my SAT?

My final SAT score I got was 1380. My top school is the University Of Illinois Urbana Champaign. I have a 3.75 GPA, took 10 AP Classes, and am taking Calculus 3 as a senior right now. I have decent extracurriculars too. The 2 majors I want to apply to are Comp Sci + Econ and Acutrial Sciences. I am not sure if I should submit my SAT score because UIUC is test-optional. Would submitting my score hurt my application to these majors?

According to the university's website, they state that it is not required to submit an SAT and/or ACT score. For applying to Computer Science + Economics and Acutrial Sciences(I apologize, I am not entirely certain if this is a typo; I found no result for Acutrial Sciences), your application to the University of Illinois should NOT have a negative impact if you submit your SAT or ACT score!
