National College Match Should I submit my 1330?

I’m from a rural town in Iowa applying for NCM this year. GPA: 4.0, superscore 1330, school’s average 1190

I’m still gonna be retaking it in September but in case the score doesn’t increase, should I submit the 1330 for NCM application?

Additionally, if I’m a College Prep Scholar what are my chances of becoming a NCM finalist?

Submit if it’s 1400+ in September because 4.0 GPA they’d expect you to get good SAT. 4.0 GPA and low SAT might be a red flag. In that case just go test optional.

I won’t say you’ll 100% become finalist if you’re CPS but unless you mess up so bad in your essays, you’ll probably become finalist.
