Any college that says they are test optional means it. No, the kid who wasn’t able to submit a score isn’t at a disadvantage.

I expect that MIT, like many colleges, allowed a certain number of students to defer. Those students will be filling some spots, for sure. Yes, admissions might be even tougher for the upcoming cycle due to those students and other factors. They are probably going to have to make even harder decisions than usual.

My advice this year: have a very well thought out list with matches and safeties that you really like, can afford, and will be happy to attend.
