<p>How much is a 6 going to hold me back? I usually get 27-29 on the English portion.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Well it depends where you are applying. As you can see using the link below, an essay score of 6 is the 37th percentile. However, many colleges just use the writing section to evaluate your admissions essay. It varies depending on the school.</p>

<p>When you say evaluating your admission essay is it to make sure you did not get professional help?</p>

<p>Yeah basically. If you write the most amazing essay they have ever read, yet got a 4 on the essay, they know something is up.</p>
