Test-optional is not a free pass; it’s a strategic tool that shifts weight onto your academic profile. At CityPrep, we use a data-driven formula to decide whether submitting your score strengthens your application.
Use the Common Data Set to find the middle 50% score range. For more on college application strategy, see our guide on Early Decision vs. Early Action. You can find Common Data Sets on College Board.
Withhold your score if it falls below the 25th percentile or if you have a focused profile. For more on building an elite profile, read our post on crafting the perfect resume.
