540 on writing for STanford?

<p>If I get 540 on SAt II writing....
should I even bother to apply to Stanford? (and $75)
I'm a non-native English speaker(been in America for 3.5 years),
but I still think it's too low, even for International students...
I worked on the essay for a LONG time,
but now...with that score...I don't think they will even try to read my essay..</p>

<p>I don't think Stanford accept Jan. scores...do they?</p>

<p>why didnt you take the toefl?</p>

<p>I will take TOEFL this December!
I hope I can get 270~280 (with writing score probably 4.5~5.0)
Would this score make up for my horrible writing score?</p>

<p>I have no idea how the TOEFL is scored, but if you do well it should account for your low writing score. Of course this is just speculation, but I think colleges will recognize your international status and won't weight your SAT II writing so heavily. They'll prolly look more at your TOEFL.</p>
