Does Essay Mean Anything?

<p>Just got my scores and they werent that good....</p>

<p>On the brighter side I got a 11 out of 12 on the essay.</p>

<p>Do colleges look at this at all? Does it have any factor whatsoever?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Someone told me that the essay is what matters more over the overall score? I'm not sure if this is true or not. I had a good essay score (10), but a so-so grammar and got 630. I'm hoping they dont look at writing at all haha</p>

<p>The overall score is affect 2/3 by MC and 1/3 by Essay usually</p>

<p>but it all depends on the scale, if you get 10+, it only helps</p>

<p>I got a 12 last time and an 11 this time....grrr. I wound up with an 800 writing as compared to 790 though, so I'm happy.</p>
