Leaning towards submit SAT scores outside middle 50%

My D24 submitted her ACT score (32) even though it was one point below the mid-50 range (33-34) of her school . FWIW the last time the school had 100 percent reporting, its mid-50 range was 31-34. Her unweighted GPA (3.73) was also in the bottom 25 percent for the school (just barely). We were concerned that if she didn’t submit a score they would assume it was even lower. She did not have a “hook” but we felt the rest of her application was pretty strong, and she got in - yay! Bottom line, I don’t think it will hurt you to submit an “almost there” score, especially if it is within the range that the school had pre-covid when they (presumably) required everyone to submit. Good luck!
