I have a 1500 superscore on the SAT with a 1440 being the highest in one sitting. However my essay score is a 15 composite broken down into 6/3/6. Would my essay score affect admissions into colleges that do not require the SAT essay but recommend it? Also is there any possible way to send your SAT score without the essay score?
No, the essay scores will automatically be sent with the SAT scores. However, the essays are not very essential in determining admissions. Many schools are now even dropping the essay requirements on the SAT. That includes many of the Ivy schools, including Harvard. So I wouldn’t worry about the low score.
don’t worry. the essay doesn’t matter
