found out this morning as my D got 7/5/6 on her “optional” essay. collegeboard says when they send out SAT scores to colleges she applies to, the Actual essay will be sent along with her scores! i’m a little worried as her handwriting wasn’t great and overall her essay wasn’t that great. she’s really regretting taking this portion of the test. most schools she wants to attend doesn’t even require it.
hopefully, if they don’t require or recommend it, they won’t even bother looking at it!
