How much weight do SSAT scores carry in the TO year?

I don’t understand this rationale. It says on the applications that not submitting the test will not hurt your chances at all, so not sure why they would make assumptions on lack of test submissions. I think there would have to be other markers in the application that give the committee pause about thinking that the student can handle the course and work load. They can’t just make assumptions that people who live in good neighborhoods should be able to ace the test.
