CollegeBoard sents copy of your SAT I essay

<p>I heard that College Board sents a copy of your SAT Reasonability test essay to colleges along with your score results.</p>

<p>Could it be true?</p>

<p>That is true, they send the copy that you can see online. Since SAT score reports are usually sent via internet unless they are rushed, this is easy to do.</p>

<p>Yep. I'm told that a lot of colleges pay attention to this essay as well, since it gives a good indicator of your writing abilities as opposed to your essay which has been read through, edited, and enchanced by 30 different people before it reaches them.</p>

<p>if you`ve taken the SAT two or three times, does CollegeBoard send all of the essays you have written then?</p>

<p>From the CB: "Images of student essays are available from the College Board to supplement a student's score report...Colleges will only have access to the essays of those students from whom they received official score reports."</p>

<p>So what happens if you completely BSed your essay...and the colleges read it</p>

<p>OMG, in that case I basically have to take it again, because my essay was horrible (compared to my normal writing, even in short term). I don't want them to look at my bad essay and then think I didn't write my college application essays. I always assumed that they could see your subscores, but not your actual essay.</p>

<p>Wow...fasfasdfasfasdf</p>

<p>Well for my first SAT I wrote a spectacular 12 essay, that even without the SAT is a great piece of work. I'm reall hoping they do see that! The 740 I got in that section should count for something, even if it is like 5% of admissions or whatnot.</p>

<p>Ha, you're kidding right?
Wow, that bites.
I'm wondering, like kchen, if they send essays from all testings.</p>

<p>Man, I'm hoping they do. My 12 essay is stuck with my lower overall score. ...I have royally screwed myself over with my most recent essay. Maybe I should affix a little post-it note explaining that, really, that 12 is supposed to be with my second set of scores. Eh, eh?</p>
