SAT scores

Do colleges use the essay SAT score to determine admission? I've heard they do. I've heard they don't since the score is subjective based on who's scoring. The reason I'm wondering is my son did very well on the Math and English, but only got a 510 on the essay.

Depends on the school. My experience is that most say they do not. However, a higher score always is better than a lower score. As you know, some places consider 510 pretty good; others don't.

Most of them openly disregard the essay score.

Ahem - Eric - you might want to thank me for that

Rob - the Rose Bowl was last Friday so the bet is now over. I do think you might want to keep it long term however as it looks nice next to your name

Yes most scores require either an ACT score or a SAT score. If they use the SAT score they do not use the writing score in most instances. They use what they call a 2 score SAT which consists of the Math and Critical Reading section.

And with my luck, I did the best on the writing section.

Ha! I was thinking that was an Avatar bet!
Rob, time to switch back to that ACC school.

I admit the Ohio State logo is very nice.

Glad the bet is over!

Most likely the kids sit for more than one SAT. The rule of thumb is that the colleges will look at the HIGHEST of the scores - even if they come from different test dates.

My son did very well on the Math and English without preparation. Now that he knows what the test is like he's taking a prep course. He just needs 40 more points to be in very good position along with his gpa.
