[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Submit a 1460 buts you at about 95th percentile.  It validates that GPA is not inflated.  [/quote]

OP, based on the responses here, it seems like there are three main theories:

1) Submit the score: it is in the ballpark for the school so even if doesn't make a difference in the acceptance decision, there is no harm done.
2) Submit the score: it helps by validating his grades and there will be a slight bump in admissions chances relative to not submitting (the college will assume a much lower score if they don't submit).
3) Do not submit the score: it will hurt because the school cares more about the score pulling down their published range than it does about whether your kid can do the work.

FWIW, if it were my unhooked kid, I would submit a 1460 from a public school in this environment.  Not because I have any insight into the actual game theory of admissions but because it's a great score, I'd want my kid to be proud of it, and screw any college that would decide to use the test optional policy to manipulate their selectivity optics.
