<p>Suppose I have, let's say, 690 CR, 700 M, and 800 W.</p>
<p>Will colleges, especially top tier, see my scores as:
1) 1390 (CR+M)
OR
2) 2190 (CR+M+W)
OR
3) 1460 (2190/2400=.9125, .9125*1600=1460)</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure 1390. At least, that's how Rutgers viewed my score for scholarship.</p>
<p>thats lame. If they don't even consider your writing score, why the heck did ETS bother to completely revamp the SAT I reasoning test to include a whole new writing section?</p>
<p>They will count writing in a couple of years when grading and norms are set.</p>
<p>They count in California this year for UC's and USC.
California got ETS to add Writing. So we're the guinea
pigs. Others will wait and see. Surprise?</p>
<p>Hey, I'm a little confused. Are you guys saying that the writing section isn't considered at all? Or rather that it is being counted as a sort of "required" sat ii?</p>
<p>bah..if we're guinea pigs..does that mean they'll be lenient on the SAT scores?</p>
<p>yeah thats kinda annoying</p>
<p>i have a 1480 combined (m/cr)</p>
<p>if they took the reduced form, id have a 1520</p>
<p>or if they just look at it regularly, 2280 is nice looking...</p>
<p>OR!</p>
<p>itd be cool if they looked at it as 1490 + 800 writing as like an SAT II sort of...</p>
<p>if they dont check it out, they suck</p>
<p>That's stupid. They should count all three parts because I know I worked hard for my scores. Besides, my math is definitely the lowest of the three scores.</p>
<p>i remember when i went on my college tours this summer the admissions people every single time said that they look at the writing section but they wont count it towards your admissions, they just want to see trends</p>
<p>awesome for me. my writing scores sucks. Kind of feel bad for the writing 800ers though.</p>
<p>I love it. 2300 baby (with a 700 writing).</p>
<p>Some schools like Bowdoin and Holy Cross don't require SAT's.</p>
<p>I think if you have a 700 or above in the writing, you will be just fine.</p>
<p>Although, as most of us know, the elusive 2400 wonders all....</p>
<p>I really hope they dont look at righting too much. I have a 1400(CR+M) but only a 2010 with writing</p>
<p>oh great -_- but my writing is my best one...it's nearly 100 pts above my CR:(</p>
<p>Hmmm, same here. (About not looking at writing.) I took the SAT II Writing - 630, but my SAT I Writing score was 610. Blah. I hope they look at CR + M only. Anyway, CollegeBoard said themselves that SAT II Writing and SAT I Writing weren't comparable at all. What's up with that??</p>
<p>i don't know. i see everyone saying that writing doesn't count. but that only seems to be people who get low writing scores. i mean i have in 800 in it too. so i don't say why they won't consider it. i mean maybe it won't be looked at on par with the math and CR. but i'm sure it has some value.</p>
<p>the point is that without percentiles and other info most colleges cant do anything but fret over high low sat writing scores and since SAt1 and sat2 writing scores arent comparable they arent leftf with any stats...</p>
<p>In the batch for admission in fall 2008 and even in 2007 this wud be very important not now...... </p>
<p>It does have value but little.... also many have declared taht they wont even consider it ...true.. While many wud to the fullest extent ..</p>
<p>AGAIN gud scores never harm and bad scorers can cheer coz its gud news for them</p>
<p>So, colleges will see it as 1390. Will they even look at the writing score at all? Will they put some weight on it?</p>
