I just got my first SAT score today, and I got 1560 (760 English, 800 Math) with 18 on Essay (6 Reading, 5 Analysis, 7 Writing). I’m looking to apply to very selective schools for computer science fields like Stanford, Caltech, and MIT. I think the SAT score is good enough, but is the essay good enough not to be an issue? I’m thinking of taking it again to do better on English so my Superscore could be 1600 or close, and my essay could also be a lot better.
I can think of many things that would be a more productive use of your time. Many schools that used to require the essay no longer do so. You have a great score. Move on.
