<p>I've heard that some schools will not accept the old SAT. The only school I can find that has this policy is UChicago. Anybody know of any other good schools doing this?</p>
<p>I'm debating whether I really should take the new SAT. The essay I can handle; the thought of an essay + a flippin' awful writing curve makes me wet my pants.</p>
<p>Some colleges will only accept old SATs if you have taken the SATII Writing(no longer offered)</p>
<p>I figured that and took it the last time it was offered.</p>
<p>Rule of thumb (with exceptions, so CHECK) - </p>
<p>Public universities - new SAT only
Private colleges - old/new SAT</p>
<p>Well the UCs are obviously only accepting the new SAT (since they were the ones who wanted it changed). I don't know about anything outside of California though..sorry! =)</p>
<p>Thanks firelyscout! Now I know why I couldn't find the universities who weren't accepting the old SAT. I was looking exclusively at private schools.</p>
<p>Three private schools requiring new SAT are Brandeis, Brown and Goucher.
Wesleyan, Barnard and Dartmouth will take old + writing (SAT II) or new.</p>
<p>Just an additional note, US Service Academies are only accepting the new SATs / ACTs w/ writing.</p>
<p>Princeton will accept only the New SAT. </p>
<p>It says something like, "Princeton requires the applicants to take the New SAT. Although the scores from the old SAT can be submitted, they cannot replace the New SAT."</p>
<p>Middlebury accepts only NEW</p>
<p>All of the UCalifornia schoools.</p>
<p>princeton accepts either, i e-mailed them, but im not sure if they want sat ii writing with old one</p>
