What is more important in the Admissions process? SSAT or ESSAY?

<p>thnx for the input guys
yeap, every school can have a 99% average if they chose to… but they don’t. perfect test scores shouldnt be the only reason to be accepted… its only a number and numbers can tell you so little about you</p>

<p>about the teacher hard grader thing, i dont think the admissions officers care so much… i think i told them slyly (lol) that i had the hardest english teacher in the school, but they didn’t give too much. every teacher can grade so drastically (even my counselor admits that my english teacher is one of the hardest graders she’s ever seen, while the rest of the 9th grade class gets the easiest english teacher in the school), so admissions officers can’t really tell i guess. no matter the rec or the score, i really think the interview really tells if your son stays true to the rec or is completely the antithesis… wow that was long.</p>

<p>hows everyones apps doing?</p>
