Writing SAT

<p>Is it right that MIT does not consider your SAT writing score at all? I mean, they receive the score anyway. Can't tell me they won't have a look at it...?!</p>

<p>ofcourse they'll have a look....but as long as it's not in the 300's, I think you can have their word that they won't take it into consideration...that's what i think..</p>

<p>I think even if it's 300 it won't matter... otherwise what's the point of saying that it won't be considered.</p>

<p>Well, no matter what you get on the writing, it won't keep you out. But an extremely low score surely gives a bad impression, doesn't it?</p>

<p>Although most of us would probably make terrible admissions officers (me particularly... I would probably let everybody in), the admissions committee is good enough at admissions that they've made a career of it. To me, this says that they're able to see things that don't count without letting them count, period.</p>

<p>So even if they get the score, even if they peek at it, it won't affect your admission one way or the other.</p>

<p>Fine.
Thanks everybody :)</p>

<p>if that's true, great! cuz my writing is so bad i don't even want them to see it...</p>

<p>Why don't they consider it?
I mean, before the march 2005 didn't they consider the SAT II writing?
And it's basically the same subject test tacked on to the SAT I...</p>

<p>well maybe not considered because it does not have the percentiles to it.</p>
