Should I submit my 1440 SAT (800M, 640E) to test-optional schools or leave it?

I would submit. It couldn’t hurt.

And is it better to not submit my 2112 SSAT (68th)? I got 99th Q 55th V 28th R, honestly think I underperformed a bit during the test

I don’t think that score will be helpful.

You should absolutely reach out to admissions at every school in which you’re interested. Every school has a bed for the right kid, especially if you can fill a need—academic, artistic, athletic, etc. and the more of these the better—especially if you don’t need FA. Kids’ plans change and spots open up at even the most competitive schools. But if you’re open to schools look at schools with rolling admissions and the hidden gems board. There are so many amazing schools out there that we’d never heard of until our children played them in sports.
