I just wanted to get some additional voices on this topic since I want to ensure I cover all bases before doing this. I intend to apply for the quickly upcoming Preliminary Application in April of this year. From what I have seen, it seems like the ACT/SAT scores are self reported and not mandatory to include within your Preliminary Application. I did poorly on my first ACT test (25/36 composite), additionally the only one I have taken so far. I intend to retake it in June, as that is when I will be available to do so next. I strongly believe I can improve my score, but I am unsure if I should include my current score in my Preliminary Application or not. Would it be better to leave it out due to the lower score, considering it is optional from what I understand? Or should I report it regardless and make a remark explaining the poor score and that I intend to retake it? If I am wrong about it being optional in a preliminary, please let me know.
