I’m a CPS with really good stats (reasearch w/ a med school, national awards, etc). My sat rn is low 1400. I’m scared that’s going to hold me back if I apply through NCM since some of the colleges I want to go to have medians in mid 1500s. Should I just apply test optional to Emory ED1 or stick with NCM for the potential of matching to top colleges? Also, does applying through questbridge make it a little easier to get into some of the higher tier colleges with lower stats? (SAI of -1500 since some ivys and top colleges don’t accept people with less than that)
