You’ll be able to take the test now. Barely scratching 1500 is 95th percentile.

Look up the acceptance rate at each school for TO vs. test submitted or asks the schools.

At Rice, for example, 80% submitted test scores although I don’t see the acceptance rate of TO vs. submitted. UGA says half submitted scores and 40% of accepted were TO.

I’d have to think - logically - having a score will help you. Yes, if it’s under the averages don’t send it in - but it’d be criminal to not take it given that you now can. You’d have to look at each school to see if it would negatively affect you - but yes, I believe it will negatively affect you. TO means you can apply sans test and they will, as they all say, evaluate you holistically. It does not mean it won’t hurt you - admissions, scholarship, or otherwise.

With test optional, schools are getting more applications so your odds go down. Anything you have to “strengthen” your application can only help you. Again, if your scores aren’t up to part at a school, then yes don’t submit. But who knows - at Fordham, maybe a 1500 gets you merit vs. no merit otherwise, for example.

So yes, you should take it - even if you don’t study - to see where you end up.
