How Adcoms look at multiple SAT scores?

Applying to College
1

<p>Math 800 Writing 760 CR 680
I want to improve CR but I'm not sure whether I should risk losing points in Math or Writing. Do admission officers look at the best scores individually or do they look at the test as a whole?</p>

2

<p>They really only look at Math+CR, so those scores are the most crucial.</p>

3

<p>Colleges typically consider your best scores section-by-section. See Harvard’s viewbook for one example of a statement of such a policy.</p>

4

<p>“They really only look at Math+CR, so those scores are the most crucial.”</p>

<p>Not true</p>

5

<p>I know they do look at writing, but the Math and CR are the most important. And yes, that IS true.</p>

<p>soon youll be able to choose which scores to send to colleges, which means they pretty much dont care what you got unless its your best.</p>
