A student has strong grades and extracurriculars but inconsistent standardized test scores. The advisor is helping them apply to a test-optional university. What is the most appropriate advice regarding submitting scores?

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

For test-optional schools, students should generally submit scores only if they strengthen their application. If scores are at or above the median for admitted students, they can reinforce academic strength; otherwise, strong grades and activities can stand alone.
