<p>Do the top universities see the writing composition?</p>

<p>I mean, I heard someone saying that Columbia University admission commitee member told that it does not have great criteria to evaluate the writing scores so that this score will not affect seriously on one's admission.</p>

<p>I got 1540/2220</p>

<p>you can substract to calculate my writing score =)</p>

<p>I am just worried, you see?</p>

<p>I am not going to shoot for another SAT reasoning test, because I have other ECs to fill up my SAT part. </p>

<p>Yet, I am concerned because this Writing score will hurt me..</p>

<p>So, anybody who is really thorough at this matter, please give me speedy replies, </p>

<p>I will be thankful =)</p>

<p>2200 is an okay grade for Ivy-calibur schools. If you have other ECs and such to "make up" your low grade, I'm sure you'd be fine. You'll have just as good of a chance as other people.</p>

<p>some colleges don't consider it at all.
just ask each school on your list and see how they would handle it.</p>

<p>you're worried about a 1540 M + V and 2220 overall?</p>

<p>You're fine even for Ivy admissions...</p>

<p>I got waitlisted by Harvard and accepted to Cornell Engineering with a 2150 overall</p>

<p>from what i hv been hearing...writing scores are more taken a bit more seriously....now that they hv 3-4 years of statistics...however...the CR + M is still read with more weight than the CR + M + W...hope it helped</p>

<p>My son has a 1450 / 2230........probably not enough for the Ivys but I am told that the 1450 is okay for possibly schools like G-Town, Emory, etc... and that if a student has a good GPA, the writing score is generally glanced over.</p>
