SAT/ACT essay Recommended but not Required - Do you still take it?

Hello,

Most colleges now are not requiring the SAT/ACT with essay but many still do recommend them. So are most people still doing it? It is a long enough day without having to add the essay at the end.

If it’s recommended then yes I’d suggest doing it. I’m curious though. What schools are saying they recommend it?

@suzy100 I do not have a complete list and if someone has it, I would appreciate if they post it. Duke, for example issued a statement recommending it.
