How important do colleges consider your SAT essay grade? I took the June SAT and got a 1520, but I got a 19(6/6/7) on the essay. Is this bad enough for a retake? I am shooting for the top tier schools; my number one is Brown, but I am also interested in Harvard, Stanford, and Yale. In case it matters, my gpa is a 95.8 (on a 100 point scale) I’ll have taken 8 AP classes by graduation, and I do plenty of extracurriculars and volunteer work.
Brown announced yesterday that they will no longer require applicants to submit essay scores.
Really?? Awesome, thanks!
In addition to Brown, HYPS all announced this Spring that they will no longer require SAT/ACT with Essay. Others have followed suit, and I expect more will also join.
