<p>So what now?</p>
<p>Does it really matter THAT much? (The essay, I mean). Do colleges accept separate essay scores (but then I would have to send BOTH scores, right?) </p>
<p>I was so tired when I got my 33, that by the time the essay rolled around, I wasn't trying very hard.</p>
<p>can the essay hurt you at schools where the writing section is optional?</p>
<p>the writing section isn’t really important</p>
<p>is the English section really that important?</p>
<p>Most schools still say things like “The writing section will not be weghted heavily” or something like that on admissions websites (NYU says this, for example)</p>
