<p>Hi guys. just one question. How much does a lousy SAT score hurt my chances? I am a student in the UK applying SCEA to Stanford (but not as an international, since I am a US citizen). I got 730 in reading, 720 in math, 640 writing. (i only took it once cos I couldn't be bothered to do it twice). however I have good SAT 2s, 800 math 2c, 800 phy, 790 chem. I've got pretty decent ECs and recs and essays and all that stuff. it's just my SAT score that I'm worried about. especially the writing score, does that matter a lot????</p>
