SAT Writing

<p>What is Harvard's policy on the writing section of the new SAT? Will it be treated like an SAT II writing?</p>

<p>My score for May was:
CR 760
Math 780
Writing 710</p>

<p>As you can see, I had a pretty low score on writing T__T. lol, but anywho, would you guys recommend retaking to be competitive for Harvard admissions?</p>

<p>By the way, this was my first time taking the SAT, so if I retook, I'm sure it would go up, esp. the writing. and the writing subscore was 71 MC and 9/12 essay.</p>

<p>the grading for writing is mad sketchy.</p>

<p>i got a practically perfect essay (11/12) but only 68 on the mc- which is only 3 less than yours and yet I got a 680. weiiird.</p>

<p>I got a 10 on my essay, but an 80 on the mc gave me an 800.</p>

<p>I, however, think that you'll be competitive enough with a 710... once you reach a certain score it just doesn't matter all that much.
Also, keep in mind that Harvard looks negatively on students that have taken it multiple times.</p>

<p>yeah, true, but it's not like i've taken it 3 times already. This was my first time.</p>
