How important are SSAT scores versus application essays.

For a little context, I’m applying to top boarding schools and I got an 88th percentile on my SSAT. I’d say that I did a little worse than what I wanted but it was to be expected because I spent a lot more time on my application essays, trying to make them unique and deep, and just plain different.

So, as the title says I’m just curious as to whether one is more important than the other, or if they carry equal weight. Just anything you may know.

Thanks!
