<p>ok, I just wanted to know, exactly how does umich evaluate the writing section on the sat 1?</p>
<p>and the act for that matter...
my composite score was a 32, but my english/writing score was only a 30..</p>
<p>I got a lowsy 8 on writing..</p>
<p>how do colleges look at that?</p>
<p>mich hasn't placed much weight on it yet. they've essentially ignored it up until now. </p>
<p>with that said, if you have like a 550 while someone else has a 750, expect a comparison to be made.</p>
<p>What do you mean, up until now?</p>
<p>what do you think i mean</p>
<p>oh well i didn't know they started to put weight on it.</p>
<p>Where did you hear this?</p>
<p>bump</p>
<p>will an 8 on the writing section of the act be frowned upon?</p>
<p>its 8 out of a possible twelve.</p>
<p>its read by 2 readers i think, each giving a score 1-6.</p>
<p>i got two 4's</p>
<p>hah, yeah, I got an 8 on writing, but a 35 on English, 34 on Reading... 32 composite. Subjective things don't seem to work out that well for me. Terrible prompt too.</p>
<p>It was horrible..</p>
<p>i hate time writing. I hate it more when i dont give a **** about what i'm writing about.</p>
<p>during a visit to my school, the adcom for my region said that they're not looking into the scores too heavily yet...but she did say that if you got a 7 or less on the essay that it would send up a "red flag" on your app...lol...good thing too considering i just barely squeaked by with an 8!</p>
<p>on the sat i got an 11 on my essay but screwed up too much on my writing mc...</p>
