Some schools will say they’ll always look at your best score. But while I don’t have a source, I don’t believe you do either. I say this because I reviewed the FAQs on their website b4 writing. Some schools say exactly what you wrote. But I couldn’t find where JHU did.
So an under the 25th percentile test score and I don’t know if there’s any hooks but if not, the only positive would be the ED.
If they will take the best score submitted, I’d agree but no where could I find that written. But then they would likely not use the SAT at all. On the flipside, they do say they look at each section and they make a composite (superscore). Nowhere do they mention even looking at individual sections) whereas some schools do and note it. Again that question can be asked.
Hence I’d ask. It’s not asking to go TO or not but rather which of two scores to use, both of which offer positives.
Thx
