<p>so i just got my jan. scores back. i got a 1480 math/verbal and a 2150 total. i only got an 8 on the essay, but do they even look at the writing? also, how does a 1480 look to Wake?</p>
<p>A 1480 is higher then the average for last years admitted class - so you should be fine if all else is good.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure they do look at the writing section. And to put out a guess I think writing for them seems pretty important, based on the heavy bias towards writing in the application. I'm not sure how much weight they put on the SAT essay though.</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry too much about your SAT Writing, I only had a 9 and your M/V was much higher than mine. They said they'll look at it, but they aren't sure if it is a true indicator of your writing ability. They give you two pretty nicely sized essays to write, and I think they put a lot more stock into those.</p>
<p>thanks everyone</p>
