<p>Same boat as you man. Yale won’t take it…but I’ve gotten mixed responses from multiple people working in admissions as to if they’d consider it to don’t even send it we’ll throw it away. Out of all the schools, they probably won’t look at your higher composite without writing. Fortunately many other great schools will. I’m apply EA as well and I feel your pain- why Yale why only you?!</p>
<p>Anybody know about Princeton looking at your higher with writing composite and your lower writing score?</p>
<p>Bump for Princeton help</p>
<p>will stanford, mit, duke and dartmouth accept both like that? does anyone know</p>
The question about being definitively completed with the writing portion of the ACT once you’re satisfied with your score is a tough one for a number of factors. Remember. At the end of the day, one is never 100% positive of the final list. What if you retake and achieve a 36? You might revise your list and reach for a school you hadn’t anticipated. Best to play it safe and cover all bases. Sit for the writing–just in case, unless you know definitively where you’re applying and its dean–or someone with significant authority-- has instructed you specifically.
Here’s some advice: Get the information directly from the source. Call whatever schools you’re interested in and ask them directly about their ACT policies. Every school is different. And policies can change from one year to the next within a given school.
Yes, it’s frustrating to call all these schools, but if you really want to go to Yale, expect to work for it:-)
Are you all just emailing the admissions counselors who work your area of residence (or any admission counselor) to get this information? I’m a little nervous about directly contacting the people who will decide whether or not I get into that school
