<p>Some schools like Georgetown dont even consider the writing portion in the NEW SAT</p>
<p>Is it true that CR and Math are more weighed than the Writing Section?</p>
<p>I do better on the CR and MAth than the Writing section... so i just want to see if I have a better chance at schools....</p>
<p>Is this true or does this only apply to schools like Gtown</p>
<p>this question has been asked wayyyyyyyy to many times. but it is true for most colleges.</p>
<p>nobody cares for the writing section. most colleges will just count it as a SATII subject test</p>
<p>Yeah, they don't care yet.</p>
<p>They'll probably look at your essay, mostly</p>
<p>i really doubt theyll take the time to look at the actual essay.</p>
<p>yea, ive never heard of a college considering an essay. what colleges sometimes say is that they compare it to your admissions essay to make sure you didnt hire somebody to write it. but i feel that is a very very very small percentage.</p>
<p>BC said they consider the writing multiple choice SAT section, but disregard the essay entirely - i think that is the best way.</p>
<p>I think that's the opposite way that I'd want them to see it.</p>
<p>If you can write a good essay, who cares about the grammatics?</p>
<p>an essay written in 25 min hardly illustrates what you are capable of, but i guess since everyone's given that time.... that would really suck though i got good scores on my essays but they were really generic and bad.</p>
<p>i got an 11 and a 12 on them, but i would not be proud to show anybody my essays. since i had a good score in april, i just used bland generic examples in june, but made sure i deliberately put about 10 "impressive" words in the essay.......it turns out i did better in june. w/e. </p>
<p>im just sayin a 25 minute essay does not adequately reflect anybodys writing ability.</p>
<p>I think it can...it shows that you're quick on your feet, smart (debatable by some, but you still have to have good examples), and a vast collection of vocabulary (even if you add it like you did, you still added them).</p>
<p>So if it's not counted then why is it that on chances threads I see people with near 1500 out of 1600 being told to raise their score when it's in the 2100s (with writing of course)?</p>
<p>the essay = bs</p>
<p>i wrote a damn decent essay in june but it only received a 9 (luckily i still got an 800 in that section), and i think it was because i didnt use many big words</p>
<p>but in the world of math/science, or in any business, you can more effectively communicate by simplifying your ideas into a form that everyone can understand. the writing section does not take into account the most common form of writing, so it is basically worthless</p>
<p>It's funny...because I've never seen a person that scored an 800 and not a 12 on the essay say that the essay wasn't wack....</p>
<p>glucose does have a point!!</p>
<p>It's true though....the end deal is that it is the writing section. Who cares if you can correct other's writings if you can't even write a good paper?</p>
<p>Writing wasn't considered for class of 2010, nor for 2011. Colleges say they don't know how to interpret the scores, & for now are just collecting the data.</p>
<p>All that extra work plus a much longer SAT for nothing. How did you all do on the writing compared to CR? I did much better on writing.</p>
<p>i got an 11 on my essay and i did not use 1 big word.... i just had great substance and support.</p>
<p>my classmate got a 800 on W and a 11 on her essay so i guess you can still get a 800 without a 12</p>
<p>Why do you guys say the Writing section is completely disregarded? As people have said, it's probably used like a Subject Test score. But colleges DO look at those and take them into account! So doesn't that make it significant?</p>
