So I just got my SAT scores today, and as a Junior I got a 1360 (750 math, 610 english). I also got a 19 on essay, which I was expecting: I am a far better essay writer than a test taker.

I want to apply to all IVYs and UCs, and was wondering if I need to retake the SAT WITH ESSAY AGAIN. I know that I will need to submit all of my SAT scores to most colleges I am applying to, so can I simply take the SAT without essay and submit that to UCs along my 1360 SAT score? And if i do get a higher score on the SAT without essay, will UCs look at that and for the essay they refer to the 19 from todays?

Or will I need to retake the SAT with the essay again, just to improve my my numerical score (not essay).

UC’s will only look at the SAT scores that have the essay component so if you want to retake, take it with the essay again. UC’s do not super score any part of the SAT and will take the highest score from a single sitting.

sigh, ok.
