A 1490 is below the median of admitted students from class of 2024…mid-50% range 1460-1540 (so that reflects only the subset of those who applied with test scores), I assume that’s why your counselors are recommending to not submit, but I don’t know for sure….but many counselors are telling students not to submit test scores if they are below the median and the applicant is unhooked.
It’s fair for you to ask them specifically why they are making that recommendation.
What math class do you have this year? What AP test scores are you reporting on your app?
