<p>At least one school uses it - Pomona College - but not in the way you might think:</p>
<p>"At Pomona, we plan to do a couple of things with the new (writing) test. One will be to download the actual essay so that we may read it with a mind to applying our own standards to the work. Only after that reading will we look at the score assigned by the College Board. If their view is consistent with ours, confidence will be built. If not well, I may write another editorial.</p>
<p>We also will have the chance to lay it side by side with the presumably more polished application essay. We expect there should be a similar voice. Where there is no apparent connection, we may question the ultimate authorship of the application essays."</p>
