I have said this before, and I think it gets over looked because it’s out of a parents control. Teacher recommendations are the factor that helps or hurts the most. There are many many smart kids with perfect ssat scores who get rejected every year from the top schools. Why is that? Of course no school can take every qualified applicant, do you really think they’re basing their decisions on a “what makes you laugh?” essay? It comes down to teacher recommendations. Those are quite literally telling the schools how this student functions in the classroom and in their community. It’s a direct view from a teacher that clearly explains what a kid is like in school. They matter.
