<p>Hey all,
I just got my June SAT scores back and I got the following:
Math:790
Reading:760
Writing:640</p>
<p>I heard that colleges don't look at the writing score as much. Is this true? Would they very much frown upon a 640? I'm looking at Ivy League schools. Would they see the 640 as a really bad blemish upon my application? (I'm guessing yes, but I just want to know how much they look at the writing score)</p>
<p>just get it up, your set with the other two sections</p>
<p>so study writing a bit this summer and hit it out of the part in october</p>
<p>but to answer your question different colleges look at it different amounts</p>
<p>like try applying to Hamilton college with a 640 and your done but other places its not such a bad thing </p>
<p>h</p>
<p>Some colleges look at your writing scores now.</p>
<p>most do not. i have the same thing (640 W). don't worry.</p>
<p>Two that I know for sure:</p>
<p>West Point is looking into it start with c/o '08
University of Florida is looking at it starting wtih c/o '09</p>
<p>They also now require the essay for the ACT</p>
<p>yeah I have the same question as well.....</p>
<p>I think they look at it. It isn't uber important but it definitely counts and i think that having a good writing score just makes you look better.
Its not like a 640 is the end of the world or that horrible though. And with your other scores so high i am sure admissions will look at it as a matter of you werent very familiar with the test format</p>
<p>"How IMPORTANTLY is the Writing Section?"</p>
<p>I would say it is rather IMPORTANT for you, lol.</p>
<p>actually there wasn't supposed to be a "y" at the end of it at all. it was just supposed to say "important". I don't know how the "y" got there</p>
