The ones that remain "optional" in name are only truly optional for certain demographics (FGLI, underserved school, URM--yes they can tell by essay topics). None of these have been test optional for private schools and top publics /magnets /etc. This is per the heads of private school college counseling who have told parents and applicants the last two cycles that test scores are expected for ivy/ivy+ for unhooked applicants. Only 2021 applicants were treated as truly TO: the tide started to quietly change with 2022, and they gave examples of colleges contacting them to ask for the student to please send scores if available(Williams, Dartmouth and other schools did this to students we know from 2022).

OP here. Thank you. My kid is in an under-performing inner city public HS in Los Angeles.[/quote]

NP.  Colleges will know your schools testing averages, so if your kid's score is excellent compared to classmates but not in 50% of admitted,  you may want to submit. I would probably submit 1450/33 and up from an underperforming school. Would have to look more carefully at details , though.

Also,  would your kid qualify for help from ScholarMatch? You can get free college counseling if low income bracket.

Sorry there is so much snark here, btw. [/quote]

It really seems best to submit in your case, from what I’ve read. [/quote]

OP here. I didn't ask if my kid should submit scores or not. I asked which Ivy League colleges remained test optional. Also those figures you're responding to are not from me. I haven't posted his scores.[/quote]
