<p>I got a 34 composite, with 33 E, 36 M, 34 R, and 33 S. I just received my essay and I got an 8, which gives me a combined English/Writing score of a 30. Is this essay score and combined E/W score very important, as it is a bit lower than the rest of my scores? Thanks!</p>
<p>It doesn’t affect your composite, and most colleges just look at your essay score separately. Don’t worry about it too much.</p>
<p>Since your composite is in the 9%tile, your essay score wouldn’t matter that much unless you’re applying as a writer. So aside from that, it doesn’t matter</p>
