do college's still put less weight on the writing section of the SAT?

<p>i scored a 2110 on the SAT, but out of 1600 i managed a 1440 (750M 690CR). So i'm hoping that those scores will we weighted more for a school like Wharton(i applied ED). What do you guys think</p>

<p>It depends on the college. Some de-emphasize or ignore writing while others treat it equally. There was a thread somewhere that linked to a website with information on each of these college's policies. Hopefully someone can hunt that down.</p>

<p>bump....does anyone know that site?</p>

<p>2110 is roughly a 1400. a 1440 is not that much different from a 1400. but yeah it depends on school. for example, chicago and emory pretty much ignore the writing section, which works to my benefit to
shrinkrap, that page doesn't even exist anymore. thanks anyways tho. someone try to find where they moved it to? it would be really useful</p>

<p>I found this on another CC thread...it was from 2005 though, so things may have changed since then. Hope this helps!</p>
