<p>On the latest SAT, I got a 12, and yet I got a 660 in Writing. x__x (Not like I'm concerned, because I think I can study for Writing and Correcting Sentences pretty easily.)</p>
<p>What you guys are saying though, is that the SAT essay doesn't count? I certainly hope the application essay does.</p>
<p>^^^yeah. He does.</p>
<p>From the schools I visited, for the classes of 2010 & 2011 the writing section has to be taken, but doesn't get evaluated for admissions. In other words, admissions is still out of 1600.</p>
<p>Personally, I would have prefered if the writing DID count & CR didn't!!</p>
<p>and what schools did yo visit?</p>
<p>Of course writing is still considered for admission? Do you think Harvard wants a guy if he had a 1800 SAT:</p>
<p>800 CR
800 Math
200 Writing?</p>
<p>Someone applying to Harvard, ESPECIALLY someone with 800 CR and 800 math, would not have a 200 writing.</p>
<p>I'm being theoretical and sarcastic.</p>
<p>If you want, I'll choose a more realistic example.</p>
<p>If a kid got a 750 CR, 800 math, and 590 writing, it looks MUCH different to harvard than simple a 750 CR and 800 math.</p>
<p>Therefore, writing makes a difference and is considered.</p>
<p>BTW, those scores are from a person I know.</p>
<p>I dont know if this is right, but I heard that writing is going to be considered equally at some schools like Harvard and Penn. Correct me if I am wrong</p>
<p>Wait.................. colleges actually get a copy of our essay??? Please tell me you're kidding. I'm assuming that if this is the policy for the SAT then its also the policy for the ACT. I really don't hope that's the case, especially for the ACT, where I tried to sound like a wisecrack on my essay.</p>
<p>My recent CR was just 440, Maths 700, and Writing 390... And I am English speaking. Writing part is very hard it seem. And now I want to boost my total to more than 1800. Is that possible? It seemed they do emphasise a lot in bery accurate vocabulary and very good evidence... By the way, I herd that IQ does correlates with SAT I score... and my recent IQ test is only 98.</p>
<p>iq correlates with sat score in the sense that weight correlates with shoe size (which it does, but only very slightly)</p>
<p>Many schools, like Stanford, consider the writing section with equal weight as the other sections.</p>
<p>Wasn't there a list published once, like by Princeton Review or some other test prep company?</p>
<p>So can we get a list of schools that consider the writing section with equal weight as other sections?</p>
