Have colleges changed the way they calculate AI for the nSAT?

<p>Is it still
AI = (M+V)/2 + (3 SAT IIs)/3 + CRS (class rank score)</p>

<p>or has it changed to
AI = (M+V+W)/3 + (3 SAT IIs)/3 + CRS (class rank score)</p>

<p>Does anybody know? If it has changed, my AI is down to 231 because of my lousy writing score.</p>

<p>I know you're looking for responses from people who know something, but what is the CRS and how is it calculated? And did colleges really use that value to initially rank people somehow?</p>

<p>CRS is a number (80 max) derived from your class rank. There is a chart with your rank/class size that will give you this number. I read about it in A is for Admissionn.</p>

<p>According to the auther, an adcom person at Dartmouth, the average applicant there had a 200 AI and the average admit had a 211.</p>

<p>You can calculate yours here: <a href="http://www.collegeconfidential.com/academic_index.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegeconfidential.com/academic_index.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>They really use this system?? Because changing my CR score changes my AI like 2 points...</p>
