<p>Writing is currently my best section. Since I know some colleges don't even consider the Writing score and only score out of 1600 for Math + Critical Reading, I want to see how important it is for me to improve my other sections. If you have a list for the colleges that don't care about Writing, please tell me where to find it! Thank you!</p>
<p>Colleges such as NYU, Cornell, Georgetown, etc. do not put that much weight on your writing scores. Regardless, math and critical reading are definitely integral parts of your score; you should definitely try and raise them in order to become competitive for colleges.</p>
<p>Can you elaborate on those schools? What about Bowdoin, Yale, Williams, Amherst. Writing is by far my best score.</p>
<p>Usually engineering or math schools don’t look at the writing section. So unless you want to be become an engineer you should improve in the other sections.</p>
<p>Look them up yourself. The colleges’ websites tell you everything you need to know about admissions.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses so far. I will probably look up specific colleges as well. However, at the time I wrote this post, my college list was very long and overwhelming. I wanted to get some focused posts regarding the topic before I started browsing the colleges’ websites.</p>
<p>I dont know wha alihaq717 is talking about. I don’t think he or she knows anything about any of those schools. NYU is HUGE on writing. Not just eh… but HUGE. Like nearly all competative liberal arts schools, NYU places a huge emphais on your writing score. (That is, if you aren’t majoring in something else like buisness at NYU Stern) Cornell may one of the most technologically orientated of the ivies, but like all ivies, they care very much about your total score out of 2400. Georgetown also cares a good amount about your writing score, even if you’re majoring in thier renowned fields of buisness or political science. There are a few schools that completely omit the writing section; the well known ones are Penn State, RPI, Georgia Tech (sort of), and several more I can’t name off the top of my head. Notice these are all engineering/tech schools. If your desired major is in math, science, or engineering, then getting your other two scores up is a must. Hope I helped.</p>
<p>ps: my info on NYU, Cornell, and Georgetown is completely accurate. I have checked thier websites and emailed admissions. I have an 800 in writing on the recent June SAT, so I would hope most competative colleges would look at it =]</p>
<p>^ 800 writing but can’t spell competitive correctly?? Or their??</p>
<p>^I did not know we had to all practice perfect spelling and grammar on a public forum. However, if we are doing so, then let me add that there is no subject in your first sentence and your second sentence isn’t even a sentence.</p>
<p>I made a 2400 on the June SAT kid, I obviously know my grammar.</p>
<p>^ Great, but your SAT score means nothing. Just because you did well on the SAT does not mean that you know your grammar, math, and reading. The SAT does not measure content at all, “kid.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The chance of randomly guessing one’s way to 2400 is so low that it is not exactly a safe assumption to proceed under.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This comment comes across poorly.</p>
<p>Ok? 10 char</p>
<p>^Of course it is not random guessing. But achieving the 2400 has less to do with actual knowledge of information than luck.</p>
<p>Toward whom was that directed, silenceizsik?</p>
<p>You believe that luck is one of the main factors in achieving a 2400?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The SAT is not an achievement test. Moreover, there are people who consistently score 2400; luck, in contrast, is not reliably reproducible.</p>
<p>^ I couldn’t have said it better.</p>
<p>^Yes, but it is indeed a larger factor in the score than actual knowledge of the content. Of course, I am sure you have guessed on the SAT before, as have I. But when you get those guesses correct, you get a higher score. But that score is not an adequate evaluation of your knowledge because it is comprised of guesses that you have made.</p>
<p>Of course, those people who consistently get 2400’s keep getting 2400’s simply because they keep taking the test again and again. They know the tricks of the test, and have the experience to get around those tricks. They do not always know the content.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Naturally. The SAT is not an achievement test (woah, I kind of had deja vu in writing that).</p>
<p>

<p>There are people who consistently score 2400; luck, in contrast, is not reliably reproducible. (There that feeling is again!)</p>
