<p>They look at all aspects of your application. I don’t think there’s a single part that is scrutinized the most. </p>

Do the best you can on everything that’s under your control. A lot of things that do influence your admission results are *out of your control<a href=“i.e%20geographic%20location,%20financial%20situation,%20strength%20of%20applicant%20pool%20this%20year,%20lots%20of%20applicants%20similar%20to%20you,%20etc.”>/i</a>. Stuff that you can control like your SSAT scores, your grades, and your essays you should try to make the best you can. </p>
<p>Just do your best on everything. Study hard in school, do your best on the SSAT, and put effort into your essays. Don’t worry about what parts of the application are “okay” for you to screw up on.</p>
