1550 on the SAT but a 6/4/6 on the SAT Essay? Should I retake it?

Thank you all for your advice. I took the ACT w/o essay and got a 34, so I am relieved in that area. All of the schools that I am applying to do not require the essay.

^ See, OP, you did a little due diligence. And that’s more helpful, in the long run, than speculation. Hope you also understand your targets’ other wants, what matters vs less so. This allows you to not only ‘self match,’ but make your best presentation in the app and supps. Best resource is wha the colleges themselves say and show.

However, remember they will look at subscores, not just composite.

@lookingforward Is it bad that, on the 34 composite, I got a 31 science subscore? I plan on being a neuroscience or economics major.

Pm’d you.
