Test optional is if you don't play baseball. Maybe someone else can correct me, but I believe you need to take the ACT/SAT if you plan to play D1 baseball.
UC is test optional. There are a few D1s that are also test optional.
I recall my son had to report his SAT score when he applied for the NCAA clearinghouse for D1 athletic eligibility. I recall this was not an optional box. Am I mistaken about this?
I just looked and it does seem to be some kind of eligibility factor for the clearinghouse. This is not my area of expertise in the least so I look forward to the answer. The school's admissions though wouldn't use these scores, I mean how could they if test-optional but NYCDad may be right that you have to take the test. The OP has likely already met the min standard for the clearinghouse with a 27 ACT. Again though not my area of expertise.
