<p>I recently visited Georgetown and found out they plan on not viewing the scores of the new writing section at all. I was wondering what other schools will not be considering the new writing section scores.</p>
<p>Northwestern won't</p>
<p>A lot of the "less prestigious" state U's that I've looked at don't need it.</p>
<p>Bighamton, and pehaps the whole SUNY system, is not (they never used SAT IIs at all for that matter).</p>
<p>i believe some of the Tech schools, Caltech and MIT.</p>
<p>MIT is another notable exception. The Ivies+Stanford will consider the writing score, but it will not have as much weight as math+cr.</p>
<p>georgetown? awesome man!</p>
<p>shoegal2, where did you hear that Northwestern won't be considering the writing section?</p>
<p>in information session i went to. the guy said that, pretty much, theyre not sure how to handle it so they'll mainly just consider cr and math</p>
<p>does anyone know if MIT has any official releases that say it won't consider the writing score?</p>
<p>Yah - the admissions head guy said it in a press conference.</p>
<p>Penn State</p>
<p>Rhodes College</p>
<p>"i believe some of the Tech schools, Caltech and MIT."</p>
<p>really? that's great news! will they keep the same policy for class of 07?</p>
<p>I doubt it.</p>

<p>=( awwwww.</p>
<p>official from the people when i was there:</p>
<p>UVa, Princeton, UPenn.</p>
<p>Wow, are you serious? That's great! I know writing is easy and tests a couple grammar rules, but the scale was absolutely ridiculous. I'm glad colleges are being flexible with the changes because I think collegeboard really screwed up with the new SAT. The old system, in my opinion, was working just fine.</p>
<p>I just went to Penn state and UPenn and they actually told me that after you meet a certain range for the SAT (when i say SAT i mean the new one with only the math and cr sections added together with writing excluded) they white out your SAT score and look at your other credentials.</p>
