[quote=Anonymous]Actually, reading is the most important, especially for older grades. The reason is that English classes are not leveled the way math classes are. I.e., a student can be placed in Algebra I or Algebra II or Geometry depending on math level, but English 9 is still English 9 (honors or not). Reading comprehension is critical for all courses. Verbal is not as essential bc it's just memorization of vocabulary words, for the most part. Of course way off base scores in any category can affect admissions decisions, but if you were to focus on one section, Reading would be it. The essay is important too. One thing is that admissions officers often compare the level of writing to the submitted admissions essay to make sure it matches reasonably well, to gauge how much help an applicant had in writing the admissions essay.
