Colleges and Universities A-Z Carnegie Mellon University

<p>If you have a crappy writing score and feel as if it will hurt you...
THINK AGAIN! My councillor rescently went to CMU for some kind of conference and she was TOLD THAT CMU DOES NOT REALLY COUNT THE WRITING SECTION!</p>

<p>THe proof that the writing section is not counted as part of the SAT1 is in ur application check up page.</p>

<p>YOUR MATH and CR are listed as a SAT1
for the writing is pushed DOWN as a SAT2!</p>

<p>COOL!</p>

<p>(just felt like posting something... feeling bored <em>sigh</em>... actually VERY RESTLESS)</p>

2

<p>Yeah writing counts as SAT II. Which is good bc writing is my lowest.</p>

3

<p>yeah, but now my satII's have a really odd score distribution of 640/790/750, lol</p>

4

<p>ya lol i did horrible on the writing section (good thing i too 3 other SAT II's so i guess they won't count the writing unless they are going to count all 4)</p>

5

<p>Yeah, I am hoping my ACT scores make up for my sub-par SAT scores (in both writing and everything else).</p>

6

<p>haha yes odd score distribution: 630/750/760</p>

7

<p>ehiunno, how'd you do on the act? i'm kind of the same way...my sats were not the greatest (although i did okay in math).</p>

8

<p>Yeah I hope my ACT makes up for the SAT and writing section.</p>

9

<p>You guys think a good writing score can make up for a bad critical reading score?</p>

<p>SAT 1: 730 m, 610 cr
SAT 2: 760 chem, 710 math 2, 700 math 1, 700 writing</p>

10

<p>My SAT's were 680/680/640 but my ACTs where 34 composite, 35 math, 31 verbal, 33 reading, 35 science. 790 MathII and 750 Physics satIIs</p>

11

<p>I really hope they only view your ACT scores, especially if you are planning on doing CS or engineering. My cr and writing scores were similar to yours. Our ACT spreads are close. I had a 34 comp, 35 math, 35 english, 33 reading, 32 science (which made me a bit angry because I had a 35 on it the time before!)...my writing score was still horrible, though!</p>

12

<p>GWB, it probably depends on the school you're applying to. I envy your chem score, though!</p>

13

<p>I applied
1) CIT -> ECE
2) Tepper
3) SCS
4) HSS -> Economics</p>

<p>You envy my chemistry score...I envy your ACT score. You wanna trade?</p>

14

<p>my distribution is funnier
800/790/790/790/790/700 lol</p>

<p>collegeboard just hates giving me the 800</p>

15

<p>HAHHAHAH what a great thread...
btw i have 770math 670Cr and 560 Writing...
WHich is REALLY REALLY messed up seeing that Im in AP English and Honors Junior ENglish before... hahahah o well.</p>

<p>My other SATIIs are good so =P</p>

<hr>

<p>I was just wondering... </p>

<p>Are these stats good enough fo the MSC?
Math 770 CR 670</p>

<p>Math IIC 800
Bio 710
Chem 700</p>

<p>??</p>

16

<p>as in they wont hurt me YAH?</p>

17

<p>N2Karaoke, I hope so too! Especially because I applied 1. CIT-ECE and 2. SCS. I would not have even sent the SAT scores but I had to send them in order to send the SATII scores which are not bad.</p>

<p>I heard they only look at your highest though, hopefully they will look at the 35 math and not the 680!</p>

18

<p>GWB, maybe your writing score will help offset the cr scores. i would think that the math scores would be more of a focal point with the schools you are applying to. i don't want to trade my 34 for your 760, but i'll trade a 33!!!</p>

<p>ehiunno, i hope they only look at the highest scores, although i'm sure there are times when they analyze all scores. for example, i also applied to brown. when the admissions rep came to my school, he advised me to only send my act scores. i guess a 34 act looks shaky compared to 2120/770/720/620(oops! physics-not my strong point!) i hope cmu is not like that b/c i think i sent all of my scores to them.</p>

19

<p>phillibuster, what majors are you looking at within the MSC?</p>

20

<p>i hate SAT scores that have "90" in its last two digits... omg only 10 pts off! haha.</p>

<p>too bad my combined SAT score and my writing score both end in 90... ):</p>

<p>oh well, i'm glad they don't put much weight on the writing section... as with freshman yr gpa. :)</p>
