new SAT

<p>hey. i heard that some schools like Brown are looking only at the CR and Math section of the new SAT (ignoring the writing section). does the same thing apply to Cornell?</p>

<p>the same thing applies to every school. they make you sit for an extra 2.5 hours for nothing. it is a waste. they see it, but they dont care for it. thats why the ACTs=my life.</p>

<p>really? in that case do you think I should retake my SAT1 in Dec? I got 800 for math, 720 for CR and 660 for WR on my first seating.</p>

<p>They DO consider the writing section of the SAT, so it's good to retake it. They may not weigh it as heavily as CR and M though, because it's not as statistically stable yet, but still - it does count.</p>

<p>alright. guess i'll retake it in Dec. btw, do you think i stand a better chance applying to the school of engine given such a score... and since my SAT subject tests n school results slant towards the math and science?</p>

<p>Nah seriously, just apply where you're interested. It might be kind of hard to pull off pretending to be passionate about something you're not. Unless you are. Then whatever's fine.</p>
