<p>Hey guys..i have one simple question to ask
Is there a difference from a SAT score of 2040 by getting
CR: 610 M:730 W:700</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>CR:560 M:760 W:720</p>
<p>Do colleges consider the fact that Student A had high writing and math score but a very low reading score(my situation) when admitting students?
Or does it all depend on Superscore?</p>
<p>Thanks~</p>
<p>Sometimes. </p>
<p>Historically SAT didnt have writing (the 3rd score). The schools that used it developed formulas that included just the first 2 scores (C+M). Some of the schools still use these, most notably for scholarships but possibly admission too. Although your composites above are the same your C+M is different. </p>
<p>Also be aware some STEM schools will emphasize the math in admissions. In the example above both math scores are excelent, but sometimes it can be a problem.</p>
<p>If the college superscores, it would use highest section scores from the combined tests. Many, particularly most public universities, do not superscore but instead use that test with highest composite. If scores are the same, the college will use the one the college believes is better. That would likely be the first one because most of those public universities either consider the CR and math sections the more important or don’t even use the writing section at all, and the 50 point difference in CR and the higher combined CR and math score in the first one would likely lead to the college using it. The exception is that if you are applying for engineering or science the college may choose the second because it considers math the most important score for those majors.</p>
<p>I think that if the decision to admit depends on someone’s score the AdCom will look at all the scores available regardless of superscore.</p>
