SAT Writing for the Class of 2011

Applying to College

<p>How important is Writing? Is it counted the same now as a regular SAT I subject, or is it still viewed more like a SAT II (since no official percentiles had been released by College Board or the individual schools in their 25th-75th percentile stats)?</p>

<p>Search around this board, there's a survey Kaplan put out that show how specific colleges look at it (Some weigh it the same, less, not at all, or are unsure).</p>

<p>Well the college board has come close to releasing an official percentile list because it will most likely be based on the following estimated percentile list:</p>

<p>As to 25-75 percentile stats, I remember reading PR's newest Top [insert number] College, and I remember that they even had tentative values for the writing section [though I don't see how they developed these, but just a thought].</p>

<p>Also, I know for a fact that there's a link out there, I think it's Kaplan, and they asked some large amount of number of schools whether they will weigh writing more than the other two sections [I think Loyola was the only one], will weigh it equally, less, or not even count it, so...</p>

<p>I know that there are several schools that now list the Writing score with their breakdown of 25-75% SAT scores for the Class of 2010. I'd assume that these schools will consider that score.</p>
