<p>Hi I am a 8th grader applying to top prep schools. I have straight As, very good applications and a very good hockey player.(AAA) What do schools find more appealing straight As or high SSAT scores?</p>
<p>They want both.</p>
<p>AAA?</p>
<p>Hat tricks? I presume you are more than just very good. I was a hockey player myself.</p>
<p>Contact the coaches at schools of interest.</p>
<p>Well, high SSAT shows you’re smart and/or you know how to take a test well. Consistent good grades at a bad school doesn’t really mean too much (you don’t get bad influences maybe?) but consistent good grades at a good schools means you’re hardworking…well, any decent grades (A’s and B’s) at a good schools means something. Grades really depend on your school.
…this is my opinion. Don’t take it too seriously</p>
