Hi,
I recently took the Sat with essay and got a 1590 on the SAT but only an 18/24 on the essay. Since I have to submit the essay score with the multiple choice score, will I hurt my chance at admission to competitive schools? Should I retake the SAT without the essay and hope I get around the same multiple choice score so I do not have to submit the essay score to colleges?
Thanks!
Nobody outside of West point cares about the essay score anymore. No reason to retake. Great job.

No.
During these covid times when the SAT test itself has become mostly optional, with the essay section ignored by most, added to which is the College Board’s recent decision to end forever the essay section of the test, and the fact that an 18/24 is actually a very good score, the answer to a retake with a 1590 is a resounding no.
