PSAT NMSF in lieu of SAT this year?

So I’m going to give you advice purely from the context of a parent who went through the admissions cycle last year applying to many (in hindsight too many) schools with a rigorous schedule. It’s incredibly stressful in a “normal” year. Those supplements add up! I have zero insight to the UC process as we’re not in state and my daughter didn’t apply to any. I just can’t fathom a kid who’s a NMSF from CA (where I know the score is higher than many states) with 3 5s and 1 4 on APs isn’t going to check the box for sufficient test scores at a private ie Barnard in a year where they’ve stated they’re test optional. I just can’t imagine that for THEM the decision would be different with a SAT score commiserate with her fine PSAT. Like I said, maybe it’s different for not quite as holistic publics. But if it was my kid, I’d bag the SAT and move on at this point to try and reduce some stress in an incredibly stressful time. Just my opinion.
