I got a 1460 on my SAT score, but I got an 18/24 on my essay. I really don’t know what I am doing wrong to get low scores, but for some reason on the SAT I can never get my essay scores high. How much does the essay score impact my overall application at a school like Harvard or any other school that requires it?
Should I retake it and go for a 1480-1500 if I am looking at top schools?
