<p>Can and would colleges read an applicant's SAT essay?</p>
<p>If so, they can compare one's application essay with the SAT essay</p>
<p>If the applicant sends his scores, yes they can.</p>
<p>lol i hope so! i wrote mine about carrie bradshaw and meredith grey. </p>
<p>btw i got a 12 :)</p>
<p>Adcoms can read the SAT essay to compare it with the application essay. If the app essay reads like it was professionally done (i.e. by a paid consultant) the adcom can check it against the student sample.</p>
<p>My SAT essay sucked (somehow got a 9) and only getting 1 wrong on the writing MC was what saved my score. What can I do about that?</p>
<p>go on mystery tutor. he gave a format out that basically works like a charm. other than that i hate mystery tutor though.</p>
<p>Oh god, I hope they don’t read mine. Got a 10 on mine…not up to my usual standard, lol.</p>
<p>stephennn, you’re already at NYU…Why do you care -.-</p>
<p>well… the thing is I got a 12
but I’m going to take the SAT again, and the problem is that I have my own strategy
I practice writing a certain example enough that the fact sentences are almost automatic, and they will always be almost the same if I use the same example.</p>
<p>It’s good to know that colleges can see it because otherwise I might have been writing a near-identical essay</p>
<p>Haha I’m surprised I got in anywhere. Mine was incoherent but I made sure all my examples were written clearly. That’s what my tutor told me to do. It literally was chicken scratch but it worked.</p>
<p>i’m just saying i hope they read my SAT essay because it was pretty funny. i’m just trying to give my thoughts to the CC community :(</p>
