<p>i noticed that a lot of people have gotten 2200+ on their SAT which is an excellent score i think. however, when i look at the section break downs, most people didnt break 1500 when combining math and verbal. instead, most people got about 1400-1450 with math and verbal and like a 750-800 on writing. im the idiot who does ok on the math and verbal and sucks dismally on the easy writing. my break down was 800m 710cr and 690w (with an 11/12 on the essay). </p>
<p>my question is...will colleges look at the score as a whole, or compare math and verbal (is getting a 700m 700cr and 800w the same as getting an 800m 710cr and 690w)? specifically, if anyone knows what washu, case, upenn, emory, jhu, and duke will look at.</p>
<p>The 800 math 690 writing definitely is better than the 700 math 800 writing. Colleges weight math and verbal more than writing. Think of writing as a little bit more weighted than a single SAT II.</p>
<p>many schools won't even be taking the writing into as much consideration; theyll break down the scores to ressemble the old format (1600 + Writing SATII) so the people with okay math and reading and great writing will be easy to distinguish.,</p>
<p>every college ive visited (including cornell bowdoin and colgate) have said that they wont count writing since they dont yet know how to interpret it</p>
<p>When I went to JHU, they said they want to see the writing score. However, they might have changed their minds by now because they've analyzed its worth and found it to be, well, worthless. I personally thought so. I got a 750 with one of the worst essays of my life: I just wrote neatly and had nice margins :rolleyes:. The other colleges say there's no basis to use it, so they've no idea what to do with it.</p>
<p>I have a question, though. I got 800cr and 700m on the new one, but 760v and 720m on the old one. Would they take the math from the old and the cr/v from the new? Then I break 500.</p>
