<p>In deciding admittance, will SBU Admissions substitute the SAT Writing Score for the SAT Reading score if the writing score is say 50 points better? In 2 attempts, I can't get my SAT reading into the 500's, however my writing is above 500 and my math is in the mid 600's. HS average is 89.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, no.</p>

<p>they only look at the critical reading and math sections of the SAT I for admission, however, your writing score along with your critical reading score, combined, if high enough can help you waiver writing 101 and take writing 102</p>
