<p>according to Jason Locke at an info session in August, 2006, Cornell does not consider the SAT writing section yet; they are waiting for more data on how to interpret it. don't know how long that will last, though. might want to check with Mr. Locke in admissions.</p>
<p>Is this true?</p>
<p>Rats. It was S's best section. Disappointing.</p>
<p>I heard the same thing today... that they are collecting data on the writing section but not using it to evaluate prospective applicants.</p>
<p>Not true. According to Steve Helfont , who is in charge of giving admissions tours at ILR , the writing section is considered. It is averaged with the CR section and then added to the math section for an overall score.</p>
