<p>Does anyone know what, if any, schools will be reading the SAT essay? I heard they all have access to them, but who really has the time to read these?</p>
<p>Doubt they will have time, plus photocopied handwritten essays look like chicken scratch. However if you hand in a Pulitzer prize level essay to them they will undoubtedly check up on you buy looking at your SAT essay.</p>
<p>I think it's more of a formality-type thing for CB to send the SAT essay for colleges to look at. Since the writing section is new, I guess colleges will be skeptical on how it is graded, the curve, etc. So, to appease colleges, CB sends them the essay to give them the option of looking at it. If they didn't, colleges may question the credibility of the writing score (even though they probably won't look at them).</p>
<p>I'm being a little vague about this, but basically if CB didn't send the essay to colleges, they will question why. Since CB does send them, colleges won't have to worry about it.</p>
<p>This is just my $0.02. I haven't read this from an article or anywhere, but it's just the impression I'm under.</p>
<p>early this year when the new sat was all the hype, yale said they would read the new sat essay to compare to your regular essay, however i have never heard them follow up with that news so i guess they realized it was too time consuming of a process, so i was just concerned if other schools will be looking at it.</p>
<p>another question si how does the score report thing work.. will collegeboard send them an electronic copy of my scores and essays and the college im applying to will print that out and put it in my app folder? (i applied on paper everywhere)</p>
