icy9ff8 -- I really don't know enough about how ssat scores correlate with school success to conclude that they should be used that way exclusively. I was responding more to the comments made by sbergman. Actually, I think that it is possible for a 99% ssat scorer to be challenged and experience high success at a school with a 70% ssat average, as long as that school offers higher-level classes.

My observation is that once you go beyond the most competitive schools and in the territory of the top 50, there is a broad range of ssat scores.

I really don't know much about sports recruitement to comment to nhfootballer except to say that the most competitive schools don't have a monopoly on chances to top tier colleges. People get there many different routes, but these top colleges routinely look at class rankings or take a look at the courses you took and how well you did in them. So if you can find a school in which you can be in the top 10 - 20 %, which has a strong track record for the athletic recruitment you want, and has a strong track record in college acceptance at the schools you want, you might find yourself in a great position when college comes around.
