Straight from the AU website:



This decision to expand our test-optional pilot follows a growing national trend toward test-optional policies and further emphasizes our belief that your academic performance is the most important consideration in our holistic review. While standardized test scores can help to predict potential success in college, your academic performance in the classroom is the most important factor in our review of your application; we also consider qualitative factors such as the essay, letters of recommendation and involvement in extracurricular activities.



As long as the rest of your application is strong, then no, applying test-optional will not hinder your chances. They’re not going to think negative of you and they understand that many students feel that their test scores aren’t an accurate representation of their abilities.

Good luck! :)
