So I just got my scores back and I got a 1600 on the SAT (Yay!), but my essay score was 6/4/6. I thought I did much better on it but I guess I was wrong. Is this really bad? Note: the only school I plan on applying to that requires essay is UC Berkeley.
Like I know I shouldn’t retake it, but…
How’d you get your essay score this soon? I’m still waiting for my MCQ results, hanging on pending smh…
@GreenTea23 Don’t retake. The essay is not weighed very heavily and a 16/24 is respectable. Congrats on the 1600!
Don’t retake!
Colleges don’t take the sat essays seriously since you submit essays to them anyways.
Congrats!
The essay is not that important. Congrats on your score
What @yamwhatyam said! You’re done with the SAT. Congratulations.
(Schools care more about what you write in your application essay. They will “score” it the way they deem best. They care very little about what number SAT graders put on your timed essay.)
Don’t worry about it. Your score is amazing and colleges wont give two craps about your essay. Congrats
