Boarding Schools Test Optional Again

I don’t think we can compare this year to last. For domestic students, what is the barrier to taking the SSAT this year? You can take it at home and they will even mail you a computer on which to take it. I feel like schools may look at kids differently this year who don’t submit because of the accessibility. I’m curious if they ever ask in interviews about SSAT status and/or reasons for not taking. I would make sure I knew how to answer that and have a good reason why I wasn’t submitting scores.
