<p>does nyu only consider your highest Sat scores from each subsection of the SAT</p>
<p>yes, and they don't place much emphasis on the writing section.</p>
<p>Yep, though from what I've heard, they don't look at Writing.</p>
<p>Please no. Writing is my strongest -.-</p>
<p>of course they do, they just don't weight writing section as much as the Verbal and Math sections.</p>
<p>I haven't heard of NYU not looking at Writing. I don't know for sure what they like or don't like, but I'm sure they look at all sections. If anything, they probably just don't emphasize a certain section as much.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure NYU (at least the last 2 years) have only looked at the writing section to get a rough gauge of writing ability, so if you got a 400 on writing but have an admissions essay worthy of Faulkner, they'll look at you much more suspiciously. But I believe they still look at it primarily as out of 1600. If anyone has a quote from an adcom supporting/contradicting it, feel free to post it because this is just what I remember.</p>
<p>last year, a stern adcom lauged when asked if stern was using the writing section. as far as I know, most universities last year were still collecting data. i don't know about this year.</p>
