<p>It does matter. You should retake the SAT, since your reading score could also use some work (and especially since you would look weaker relative to other strong candidates with strong scores at your school). You look like a strong candidate otherwise. Best of luck!</p>

<p>i can’t retake anymore because i’m a junior and i’m tired of it. Whats wrong with reading collegeboard says 93% get 580-680 and my math is already on the high end (650-750). I’ve heard many times colleges never consider writing. UGA only looks at it to validate you wrote your essay. You think i can make it with those scores?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>can’t probably isn’t the best word then.</p>

5

<p>you don’t get scores tell end october, and i think early applications are before that. so i can’t</p>

6

<p>I don’t know of a school that doesn’t take October scores. Most early programs even take November scores.</p>

7

<p>well what are my chances with 450</p>

<p>i can probably only get it to a 520, highest practice</p>

<p>its an engineering school why do the care about writing</p>

8

<p>Writing is an important skill in every field.</p>

9

<p>i’m a good enough writer my essay is an 8. I just not a grammar check program.</p>

10

<p>Grammar structures our language (including written communication). I’d be happy to email you my grammar guide for the SAT if you wish. I’ll be posting it on CC as part of my SAT and admissions guide soon.</p>

11

<p>i don’t wanna take it anymore</p>

12

<p>send me one i guess i’ll look at it</p>

13

<p>PM me your email address.</p>

14

<p>what should i shoot for in writing</p>

15

<p>In general, higher is better, so I can’t really answer that. Moreover, I am not very familiar with Georgia Tech’s admissions.</p>

<p>i hate you more and more each post but your just trying to help</p>
