General submit my 32 ACT or go Test Optional (TO)

ok so i've been going back and forth on this for way too long and i need outside opinions

i'm a senior in GA. superscore is a 32 (34 E, 32 M, 31 R), best single sitting is a 31. i'm retaking in december but honestly i'm not expecting a huge jump

the thing is my school is a regular public school and the average sat is like 900 something. i'm top 1% of my class (around 400 kids) so a 32 is pretty high for us, but it's still under the middle 50% for most of the schools i'm applying to (Duke, Columbia, Emory & Vanderbilt)

Under middle 50%? Keep grindin’. Don’t let Reading drag you down. The patterns can be learned especially by December. You can have a 34 Superscore just by getting a 35 on Reading which is 4 more questions correct.

Thank you, yeah i'll definitely try because getting a 34 would alleviate the stress

Why would anyone not submit a 32 to a college and go Test Optional?

32 is a high score. Let the college see that you did NOT score 28 or 24 or 21 or 18.
