<p>I took the SAT I last January and ended up with a decent score; the only thing I’m worried about is my essay score.
Math: 800
CR: 750
WR: 640 (Essay:6)
Total:2190
How will this essay score affect my application? I’m applying to several Ivies: Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, Stanford, and also Caltech.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about the writing score–a lot of top colleges don’t look at it. It has been the subject of controversy since it was introduced.</p>
<p>Having said that, I certainly hope you have some safety or match schools on your list. Although your math/CR score is very good, plenty of equally smart kids get rejected from the schools on your list all the time.</p>
