Do any Colleges Specifically Exclude SAT Writing?

<p>There are a lot of articles about how the SAT writing section does matter, but some college websites list their freshman class profiles from recent years (like 2013) and give the 25-75th ACT and SAT score percentiles. What's odd is that some colleges only list the math and reading sections of the SAT, and even refer to the reading section as the "verbal section". The current reading section used to be called the verbal section until 2006 when the 2400 system came out.</p>

<p>Taking all that into account, does that mean certain colleges don't even consider the writing score on the SAT? Is there a list of these anywhere?</p>

<p>Cornell is one. Not sure about any others</p>

<p>Georgetown.</p>

<p>Interestingly enough, both of those schools do NOT list the writing score in their Common Data Set. Look at school’s CDS info for missing writing scores.</p>

<p>Notre Dame</p>

6

<p>The entire Cal State University system</p>

<p>Look at the common data set. It will specify whether or not they use the Writing portion in admission decisions.</p>

<p>I enquired about this at a school. Even though they don’t list writing, they consider it as part of comprehensive evaluation. So I guess it is still important at good schools even if it is not listed.</p>
