Sorry Guys, another SAT Retake Thread

<p>I am really sorry about this, but I have an ACTUAL predicament, as opposed to the usual 2310, should i go for it again???? So, here's my scores on my first try:
Jan 2007 SAT:
CR- 780
M- 780
W- 690 (710/8 essay)
1560//2250</p>

<p>I am extremely pleased, of course, with my CR and Math scores. I also have no problem with either of my totals. The thing I am afraid of, is that my writing scores will hold me back at top schools. I know many of them do not care about them yet, but I am class of '08, and by next year, what if they do count them? In practice, I usually get an 11/12 essay (in practice w/ a tutor), but this particular topic, I happened to have nothing good to write about. If that essay were a 12, I would have gotten a 740 at least, and then I would have nothing to worry about. My fear in re-taking the test, is that I will do about the same on math, but will most definitely decrease by 40 points on CR. (I got really lucky, and somehow knew every vocab word). I really don't know what to do at this point. Please tell me what you think.</p>

<p>Also, if a school has score choice, are they totally blind to lower scores, or do they just try their best not to let it influence them?</p>

<p>When you say you had nothing good to write about, what topic / examples did you give? I'd say a lot is based on writing style and not so much on content (as long as your general ideas are in the ballpark of what they're looking for). I say retake.</p>
