Top Colleges: 1600 scale v. 2400 scale

Applying to College
1

<p>As people are preparing applications, I think it would be nice to have a list of what colleges consider what for the SAT (if one has already been made I could not find it). Since most schools do consider the writing portion, I think it would be best just to mark those schools that focus on the Math and Reading Sections only.</p>

<p>Here are the top 26 schools, mark any that you know take the SAT out of 1600 and feel free to add schools on to the bottom of the list.</p>

<p>Cornell looks at scores on a 1600 scale. Every other Ivy values your writing score, though how much weight it holds compared with other sections is unknown.</p>

<p>Pretty sure MIT throws out the writing. Especially since the study that said the SAT essay was crap was done by the MIT director of writing.</p>
