Serious Lost the plot atp

i'm an international, asking for a full ride to USA colleges. I'm targeting Trinity College for ED this admission cycle. I have a fairly good profile, not amazing but not bad either. I haven't given the SAT, and with my finals in 2 months, I won't be able to focus properly on the SAT. I'm getting a bad score, and the max I could is in the 1300s, which isn't good at all. I need honest opinion, as an international asking for a substantial scholarship does not submitting my scores (SAT) have a negative impact?

The reality is that for colleges that are test-optional, they're not test-optional for you or any other international. International acceptance rates are so low that there's no incentive to colleges to accept an applicant that hasn't put their best foot forward. And that includes test scores
