<p>As the title says, how important is the SAT essay score when applying?</p>
<p>uhh it is the least important part of the sat. for sure.
some schools dont even look at the writing section at all</p>
<p>The essay score doesn’t matter much as long as your W score is high. For example, if you got a 800 W with a 9 on the essay (this has occurred before), they won’t care about the 9.</p>
<p>to college?</p>
<p>probably not at all.</p>
<p>You know there are those things called college essays, I think that they may play a more important role.</p>
<p>And I am one of those people who got a 9 essay and 800 writing. Not sure still how I got a 9… I got a 10 before and this one was WAY better… but it doesn’t matter in the end.</p>
<p>I won’t get rejected because of a 9 essay, I’d bet a million dollars on it.</p>
<p>Chances are, neither will you.</p>
<p>If you did well overall on writing then it doesn’t matter. It’ll probably only stick out if you got a 6 or less, which will raise eyebrows if you have an amazing college essay. But other than that it’s fine.</p>
<p>^
That would be me. The most surprising part of my SAT was my essay score: 6.</p>
<p>Not sure what admission counslers will think of my essays though.</p>
