I recently took the SAT with Essay and did really well (1550). However, I didn’t do too great on the essay (6-6-6). Is it worth it to take the test again? I’m obviously very happy with my multiple choice score but I’m worried that my essay scores aren’t good enough. Do colleges that don’t require the SAT essay still consider it? Will they use my essay score as a factor to rule me out or do they completely ignore it? Thanks!
No.Move on to other parts of your application.
It will not hurt. They can better judge your writing from the application essays. Even for the colleges that still require the SAT with essay (a vanishing breed), the essay score is not a meaningful piece of the decision, IMO.
Listen to the advice given. A lot of schools are not even taking the sat essays seriously anymore. You won’t be rejected because of your Sat essay score. Make sure you have a great essay and congratulations on your sat score.
No. Colleges don’t care that much about the essay. The grading is too subjective. You might score lower if you take it again if you are not lucky. CONGRATS!!
