How close to Avg SAT to submit scores?

[Anonymous]

School is test optional
Average SAT is 1440
About 40% of admitted students submitted scores
For my DD it is a reach
SAT is 1420

Would you go test optional?

PP here - that was a typo - I meant I would submit the 1420 to the school with the 1440 average!

It's real close.

Submit if close to the 25th percentile. If the average - around 50th percentile - is 1440, there is no question, submit 1420.

Could OP come back next year to report outcome after following DCUM’s advice? It would be really helpful. Thanks
