Should you submit test scores?
If you are applying to a test optional college, you may choose whether or not to report your test scores. If you choose to share your scores, some colleges allow you to self-report the scores in your Common App (and not send an official report from the College Board or ACT). Some colleges require you to submit official scores from the College Board or ACT.
Check the Test Optional Colleges list.
Check to see the Colleges that Allow Self-Reporting of SAT and ACT Scores list. You must send official test scores to UMD before November 1st!
Submitting test scores is the student's responsibility! Be sure to get them in on time!
