“NCES/College Navigator is inconsistent in how they report this. As but one example, Bowdoin is TO but requires all matriculants to send an official test score report even if they applied TO. But, College Navigator does not show test scores for the enrolled students…Bowdoin does report the test scores for the full class in their CDS.”
UChicago doesn’t publish a CDS. My son is in the Class of '23 but submitted test scores. Because he did so he needed to make sure they had an official one on file. However, according to the instructions received, those rules didn’t apply to TO admits. Theoretically, TO applicants can skip taking the test altogether, although UChicago does not recommend they do so. Here is the FAQ on the subject:
"Because standardized test scores are optional portions of your admissions process, does that mean I shouldn’t take the SAT or ACT?
The SAT, ACT, and other standard measures can continue to be an important part of the University of Chicago’s holistic admission process for students electing to send scores and are a required part of the application process at many other highly selective schools. These tests can provide valuable information about a student which we and other colleges will consider alongside the other elements in a student’s application. We encourage students to take standardized tests, like the SAT and ACT, and to share your scores with us if you think that they are reflective of your ability and potential. Given that many of our peers do require testing, we anticipate that the vast majority of students will continue to take tests and may still submit their test scores to UChicago."

Beautifully vague. I guess someone might feel that a 20 is relevant in a particular context? a 1020 SAT is currently at the 52nd percentile for all high schoolers and below the 50th for students actually sitting the SAT. I would expect an ACT of 20 to be around the same part of the distribution.
