Do people believe that omitting scores actually hurts their odds? Seems like unless you score a 35 or 36 on the ACT (or whatever the SAT equivalent is) that you would be best served to leave it out?

I don't believe illusions because too much is for real.

  - I don't see how omitting scores can help you. It has to hurt you. It should hurt you. - NedoftheHill - 10:04pm 1/18/22
    - I can't imagine it would hurt you. They are going test optional for a reason. - NDavenue - 10:17pm 1/18/22
      - Not sure how it is fraud to make tests optional. Great way to weed people out... - NedoftheHill - 10:22pm 1/18/22
        Admission expressly states that an app with or without scores are evaluated equally. Pretty clear. [NT] - NDavenue - 10:27pm 1/18/22
