It is one variable, and it is the one that can be compared against all applicants. Typically, they want to see scores at or above a certain level as that signals a certain ability in math and english, a level required to succeed at that school.

There are reasons a lower score might be acceptable, a common one being that the applicant is not a native speaker. At the end of the day, every school wants all of its students to succeed, and this is one of the data points they use to determine that.

It’s hard to not think of this as a competition in which you try to accumulate the most “points”, but that’s not what this is – it’s about creating a class of kids who will thrive in a particular environment.
