<p>make up for slightly weaker SAT score?</p>
<p>how weak we talkin?</p>
<p>yes, it can…(saw your other post and noticed the 2090) pratt does have a reputation for being stat-driven but a passionate essay can definitely help with low scores. A 2090 is weak for duke but it isnt THAT bad. You can definitely get in with that score if the rest of your app is good, the essay being really important. So, in short, YES a passionate essay and quality app can make up for weak SAT scores. SATs are only a small portion of the app. You still have a good shot with a 2090.</p>
