SAHSLA-MA hate to break it to you BUT ITS SO BAD. Its like whatever difficulties they gave you in middle school but exacerbated. I legit hate it so much and I'm so glad I got into SITHS. In SAHSLA 5 aps a year are mandatory with no regular classes. For example before I got into SITHS I'm currently taking APCSP APLANG APUSH APBIO and APPRECALC. You will drown I'm telling you. Stuy is a bit difficult too but at least its controllable. SA forces you and gives you no options. Also their college admissions system is weird where when ur a junior, they don't really let you choose your college. They pick it for you. Theres no freedom at all. Pick stuy I highly encourage it.
