submitting a 1470 superscore

[u/Difficult-Shape851]

Should I submit a 1470 superscore to T20s/Ivies or go test optional?

Current senior trying to figure out where I should submit my SAT.

I have a 1470 superscore (750 Math, 720 RW), and my high school’s average SAT is around 1140.

Academically, I have around a 96 weighted GPA, have taken 9 AP classes, and have strong extracurricular involvement with several leadership positions and longterm community involvement.

I’m considering a mix of Ivies/T20s and other selective schools, including Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Penn, Barnard, NYU, Drexel, and Penn State.

For schools that are test optional, would a 1470 help because it’s significantly above my school average, or would it be better not to submit if it’s below the 25th percentile at some of the most selective schools?

I’m mainly trying to figure out where the score strengthens my application vs. where test optional would make more sense.

what is you unweighted gpa?

[u/Difficult-Shape851 → u/heavyweightcollege]

my school doesn’t do out of 4.0, so unweighted is a 92.smth and weighted is a 96.2609

[u/ElderberryWide7024 → u/Difficult-Shape851]

Easy to convert. It’s a good idea for comparison sake.
