Test Optional Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means #collegeadmissions #admissionsadvice

"Test-optional" sounds like great news, but most students completely misunderstand what it actually means, and it's costing them. When colleges went test-optional, a lot of students exhaled and moved on. But here's what nobody explained: test-optional and test-ignored are NOT the same thing. And confusing the two can hurt your admissions chances AND your scholarship money. In this video, Destiny breaks down: ✅ The critical difference between test-optional and test-ignored ✅ When submitting your SAT or ACT score actually helps you and when it doesn't ✅ How test scores can mean the difference between thousands of dollars in merit aid ✅ Which programs and majors still quietly prioritize test scores ✅ How to make a strategic decision about whether to submit your score This isn't a yes-or-no answer. It's a strategy, and knowing it could change your entire application approach. If you're a high school junior or senior trying to figure out the SAT or ACT, this video is required watching before you make that call.
