I don’t really know about other schools but I know a few for the top boarding schools! I’ll list them from important to less important…

Deerfield: Your grades are definitely important. Then, it’s extra curricular, SSAT, and then your essays, and then the rest.
Andover: Your interview, essay, recommendation, extracurricular activities, and the rest.
Exeter: Your grades, essay, recommendation, extracurricular activities, SSAT, and then the rest
Peddie: Your grades, essay, recommendation, extra curricular activities, interview, and then the rest
Hotchkiss: Your essay, grades, recommendation, extracurricular activities, and then the rest…

So if you look at the pattern, you’ll see that grades and essay are almost always on the top… Hope this helped!
