Your community service hours are a bit low but everything else looks good. Certainly better than my stats. Could you update with your new SAT scores? I know they came out today for most people.

Yeah, the 630 writing was the most questionable looking thing.

Quickly checked his/her profile - got 2240. 800M, 740CR, 700W. That clears up the writing issue.

i always do bad on the essays. i got a 75 writing subscore and a 7 on the essay, which brought down my writing score to a 700. its still good though. do you think me writing good application essays will make up for the low essay scores. i could definitely write better than i did on the sat.
