<p>I've heard that Ivy League Colleges look more at the CR Score on the SAT than the Writing Score?</p>
<p>Is this true?</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, most places value CR & math more highly than writing. I’d assume this goes for Ivies as well.</p>
<p>I’d hope not! My CR is 100 points lower than my writing!</p>
<p>Though the math and critical reading were at first paired together, many colleges looked equally upon the writing since it’s addition. However, I can’t recall which Ivy school, but one of them only had the math and cr reported on Collegeboard…</p>
<p>CR is slightly looked higher on than writing, that’s why a number of colleges say they don’t care about writing score and only count the CR+M score. </p>
<p>But a lot of colleges nowadays also look at the overall /2400 score in consideration so it shouldn’t be that important if your writing score is lower than CR. But for example, if you had a 720 for CR and a 560 for W then that might pose an a slight question.</p>
<p>I’ve asked this question of admissions officers at the top schools. Most didn’t give a straight answer and just started talking about holistic review again; some said that all sections were considered equally.</p>
