<p>No Jubles, I do not think that it’s weird! UChicago only gets to see the score for this raw essay and not the essay itself. The criteria used to score the essays, may not be the criteria that UChicago values. The essay is a relatively new addition to the SAT. Quite a few colleges are still studying whether the essay scores would do well as a good indicator. Besides all that, S never gave me the impression that being an expert in speed writing is necessary in order to succeed at UChicago. The quality of the work is essential and this is measured by using criteria that UChicago values.</p>
