If there is a test-optional policy, do we still have to submit the tests?

We still believe that tests are a good way for students to differentiate themselves. Even if they are not required, if the scores are above the 90th percentile, we would still recommend that they be submitted. This allows admissions committees to have more information about your child that can help to separate them from the numerous other applicants. This holds true especially if your child does not have great grades or an impressive GPA.
