<p>From the Stanford website:</p>

<p>"The New SAT
For students applying for fall 2006, we will accept a student's highest individual verbal/critical reading score and math score from either the former SAT I, the new SAT Reasoning Test, or a combination of the two exams"</p>

<p>Which implies that they will not be considering the writing score on the new SAT?</p>

2

<p>They are considering the SAT 2 writing. Its just not AS important as math and critical reading.</p>

3

<p>Is the actual essay score (1-12) ever considered?</p>

4

<p>yeah is it, my essay was like a 10 but my score sucked as 610</p>

5

<p>I doubt it. although i did get a 12 :(</p>

6

<p>I meant, does the Stanford admissions commitee consider the essay score. Unless you meant that too... in which case nevermind</p>

<p>Essentially, if they are going to publish the SAT Writing scores in the freshman profile after this years admission, Writing will become as important as the other two sections. And since the College Board probably will publish them on their site (as they do with the verbal and math now), Stanford and the rest of the schools will likely follow suit—thus giving a new level of importance to the Writing section.</p>

<p>I know the Writing section is important..what I was wondering was if the essay subscore (1-12) FROM the writing section would be considered. For example, would admissions commitees see and take into consideration the 1-12 score under the writing score. Sorry if I'm just missing something, i've never really got a clear response to this</p>
