<p>I thought writing was tricky and wasn't confident on a few questions. I got lucky: 800 (80/12).</p>
<p>i only got 3 wrong out of 49 and a 9 on the essay and i only got a 720</p>
<p>in march i got a 12 essay but 700 total... bad multiple choice</p>
<p>Just a question, not meant to offend any people...</p>
<p>Is a 740 writing a pretty solid score for the less competitive Ivys? I'm think brown and cornell when I say less competitive.</p>
<p>madskier, 740 is more than fine. especially b/c writing will not be a huge factor in admissions, it is completely acceptable.</p>
<p>Math-640
Critical Reading-740
Writing-770</p>
<p>They grade the essays so poorly. I went off topic and left half a page blank, and still got a 12.</p>
<p>1570 M/CR
720 Writing</p>
<p>Yeah, it does lower it. But I don't really care seeing that writing won't be a factor in admissions for a couple years.</p>
<p>Are you serious? Why wouldn't they factor it in?</p>
<p>760 Writing, 610M/650CR here. Got an 11 on the essay and 3 MC wrong. The only section I studied for was math(...). IIRC I scored a 70 in W on the PSAT four years ago which was in the 99th percentile.</p>
<p><<are you="" serious?="" why="" wouldn't="" they="" factor="" it="" in?="">></are></p>
<p>Because it has never been out there before and it's accuracy of judging someone's writing skills is horrid.</p>
<p>The top colleges, for the most part, are either paying less attention to it our disregarding it entirely</p>
<p>I think for most colleges and universities who haven't made a formal statement about it (the majority), it will not be the main determinant like the math and reading, but if it is very good or even exceptional (say, 700+ or 750+), they will "take notice," so it might just give you another edge. I base this off of no real knowledge, but rather a logical assumption.</p>
<p>Math: 670
Verbal: 800
Writing: 740 (770 multiple choice...but only 8 in essay)</p>
<p>Doesn't an 8 on the essay bring it down a lot more than that??</p>
<p>No idea, but I thought 30 points was a pretty big blow.</p>
<p>So now it's a couple of years? Where did you hear this information?</p>
<p>math 740 cr 740 writing 720</p>
<p>6 essay (didn't finish.. bad time management on my part) but perfect score on multiple choice.</p>
<p>math-730
cr- 700
writing - 620...ugh, it stopped me from getting to the 2100 mark :(</p>
<p>800 on writing (80/12), but that's because i'm good at English and the essay topic matched well with some books i'd read
800 CR and 710 math</p>
<p>The essay destroyed me. I received a 10.
CR: 800
Writing: 740
Math: pretty atrocious</p>
<p>730 writing (70/11) damn MC</p>
