What is the most important to a prep school when looking at an applicant?

Prep School Admissions

<p>How do prep schools rank it? I know that some schools are different than others, but let's say NMH, Berkshire, Holderness, Loomis? All somewhat comparable schools...</p>

<p>So how would these things rank in importance?(in no particular order)
SSATs
ECs/Sports(especially if you are really outstanding)
Grades
Interview</p>

<p>So CC, what do you think? This is kind of a chance thread, but not really.<br>
If I'm outstanding in a sport(as in top in the state), but have a B-B+ average at a top private day school. I have not taken the SSAT yet, but plan to get 80% or better. I have great ECs, that consist of many sports, and lots of community service. I also have very good recommendations. So if some CC members could chance me + a ranking in importance of the above options, that would be extremely helpful. </p>

<p>thank you!</p>
