<p>I have seen that it does and that it doesn't. Does it? (Please do not post unless you KNOW)</p>
<p>when i visited, they said they DO NOT look at the writing section because they had two applicants with the same exact essay score and MC score, except one got a 690, the other an 800. Therefore, they said they find it unreliable and do not look at it.</p>
<p>^how is that possible?</p>
<p>^diferent tests?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot. Not that it helps me now, but was curious because my writing was lowest by 60 points. 1550/1600 looks a lot better than 2240/2400.</p>
<p>berg: you’re either lying or you misheard information. getting the same essay score + MC with one getting a 690 and the other an 800 IS IMPOSSIBLE. yes, curves are always different but a 110 pt difference? IMPOSSIBLE.</p>
<p>I can see this thread is going to digress. Thanks for the answer.</p>
<p>I declare this thread OPEN for arguments about scores and curves!</p>
<p>690 and 800 LOL</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not at all, I received a 12 on my essay while my comprehensive writing score was by far lower than a perfect 800. I’ve seen many others in the situation as I am in and have even seen the opposite side of it where people receives high comprehensive writing scores with essay scores that are as low as 8’s.</p>
<p>by “comprehensive score” i’m assuming you mean your scaled score… the writing score is based on your grammar + your essay not just your essay. obviously it’s possible to get a high writing score w/o an amazing essay and vice versa but he is saying that they had the exact same on both parts of the writing.</p>
<p>well guess what? there is nothing you can do about it whether or not they look at the score…YOUR DECISION HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE.</p>
<p>well guess what? other people care…BECAUSE THERE WILL BE PEOPLE APPLYING NEXT YEAR. i swear , some of the people on this board are so dense.</p>
<p>^ Lol</p>
<p>10char</p>
<p>wait, so cornell doesnt look at your writing score?!?!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh sorry, I didn’t notice the part about having the same MC scores. </p>
<p>In any case, Cornell does not look at your writing score :D.</p>
<p>It sucks that writing is my highest score. :(</p>
<p>writing was my lowest score by 60 points, which is odd because I have a A in English, odd…</p>
<p>gosh, i got 800 on writing…
it sucks it doesnt count at all…
so theres no space for writing down the writing score then?!</p>
<p>Subconsciously they matter. 770/750/600 looks terrible if you ask me. Now, 770/750/760 looks consistent.</p>
<p>not if the writing scores are not reported at all ;)</p>
