<p>I am wondering whether I should retake the SAT. </p>
<p>I scored poorly on the writing, but really well everywhere else. My intention is Harvard/Brown/Princeton/Stanford, etc. I know the writing is considered "less important", but does this apply to the ivies as well? (I heard that essay graders look at the length and the handwriting and that's it, and that colleges are starting to look at it funny. Is this true?)</p>
<p>My scores: </p>
<p>730 CR, 800 M, 680 W (eep! blame it on the 8)</p>
<p>Is it worth the five hours of torture? I mean, I wouldn't mind going to one of what you guys call the "lesser ivies".</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
