SAT writing section

<p>So....according to collegeboard Duke is considering SAT writing, however, when I visited a few days ago, the admissions officer specifically said that they were not considering the SAT writing section, although they did have access to the essay....anybody know who to believe?</p>

<p>i was there a while ago too, and they said the same thing. I don't think its that all important, it only becomes a problem when you perform really bad on it</p>

<p>Yeah....I didn't do great on the writing section....not *horrible<a href="610,%209%20on%20the%20essay">/I</a>, but certainly not as well as the CR and Math sections (1400 total)...that's what I was wondering about mainly, hoping that that's not going to affect my application too much.</p>

<p>The writing section is the sole reason I'm not sending in my SAT. Yay ACT!</p>
