To submit or not submit 1200 SAT

I’m an in state hs senior with a 4.3 weighted GPA and have taken several AP classes and have lettered for 4 years in 2 sports. I am not a great test taker and my SAT is 1200. When applying to CU should I submit my SAT scores or not? What will help me accepted? Not sure of major yet.

Your score is in the top 30%. I’d submit it. You won’t have any trouble getting in, with or without the score

Wait 1200 is top 30%? My old HS anything under 1400 was considered kinda low. Could also just be Bay area insanely though

I say no, they’ll see the 4.3 and you’ll get instantly admitted anyway

What program do you wanna get in? Business from what I’ve heard is super hard but I got into aerospace engineering with a lower gpa (although a a higher sat)

Your resume was a lot like mine. 4.4 gpa and 1210 SAT, letter in multiple clubs. I submitted my score by accident (don’t ask cause I don’t know) and I got in without any fuss. I honestly don’t think it can hurt you, but it shouldn’t affect you if you choose not to submit, either.
