Applying TO to top ranked engineering programs

thank you for the input!

Score is >700 and well within range for many engineering programs on her list. But she’s interested in trying for some reachy test-optional schools for which the score would be right around the 25%. So my question is really more around whether kids are getting into highly selective engineering programs without submitting scores at all because we’re hearing that even though the school might be saying they are test-optional, engineering admissions really wants to see the math scores.

Taking the test again is really not an option at this point.
