<p>The Writing portion of the SAT is so new, that many schools have reported that they are not yet using it as a tool, when considering applicants.</p>

<p>Harvard, Princeton.</p>

<p>The thing that confuses me though about the writing section is that many schools required that students had taken the SAT2 in Writing for the old SAT's. What did they do before?</p>
