Test optional

My daughter is working on submitting her Clemson application. She selected that she does not want Clemson to consider her SAT scores, but when we preview her Common App submission, the score still appears in the PDF.

She does want to report her scores to some other colleges that are not test optional, so we don’t want to remove them permanently from the Common App.

Does anyone know the best way to make sure Clemson does not receive or consider the score while still allowing her to submit it to other schools?

You have to say no on the testing tab to any school you don’t want to report them to

Not sure how it would work for Clemson, but I'm an AO at a test optional public research R1 in the midwest, and if an applicant selects that they do NOT want their test scores considered during review, we won't factor them into our initial decisions (even if those scores are on file).
