Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not the Academy considers the SAT essay in their admissions process. I’ve taken the SAT 3 times between my sophomore and junior years (I’m currently a junior), and have a score of 1540 on my best SAT. However, I’ve only taken the SAT with essay once during my sophomore year with very little preparation (mostly as a diagnostic), and received a pretty average score of 16/24. I haven’t taken the essay since then because it seems that very few schools require it these days. From what I know, both USAFA and my backup schools don’t require the essay. I can’t find anything on Academy Admissions regarding the essay portion of the SAT, so I came here to see if anyone else knew the answer. Thank you all for any answers you have!

My SAT essay score was absolutely terrrrrrible, and my SAT was 80 points lower than yours. You should be fine - depending on the rest of what your package looks like. Remember it's a WHOLE person application.
