Is there a BIG difference?

Applying to College

<p>Is there a big difference between having a SAT score of 2250 with a break down of:</p>

<p>CR- 690
M- 780
W- 780</p>

<p>and a SAT score of 2250 with a break down of:</p>

<p>CR- 750
M- 780
W- 720</p>

<p>Does writing truly not matter? (I have the 1st score.. my CR score is low)</p>

<p>Should I take the SAT one last time in Dec. (I'm a senior) and try to improve my CR or should I leave it be? (I'm applying to top schools)</p>

<p>Leave it be!</p>

<p>Leave it alone! When they superscore it, it'll be awesome and can't possibly hurt you!</p>

<p>Yeah if you are applying to top schools, then take it one more time[ read a lot between now and then!], as many schools do not even use the writing score, and few consider it as important as the M or CR scores.</p>

<p>dvm258, I don't have the second score... I only have a 690 in CR.</p>

<p>I'm thinking I should retake because my Math and Writing scores won't go down (my math is always 780-800, and writing is always 750+)... it's just having a CR score below 700 may seem a little off to colleges compared to my high writing score.</p>

<p>I have nothing to lose, right?</p>

<p>Right, unless the thought of spending 4 hrs on a Sat in Dec taking a test will freak you out. If you prepare yourself, sleep well the night before, have a good brkfst and have snacks & cokes to keep you going through the whole test, you have nothing to lose.</p>

<p>Your CR score is not low by any means...</p>

<p>Because 20 points would make a world of a difference on getting into college :D</p>
