Test Preparation
1

<p>Reading a thread frome someone else who got screwed by the writing section (I got CR750, M780, W640) I found someone kindly posted this list from '06 (see below) of Universities which do not look at the writing section...my question is: Which way did the good undecided universities go and was there any changeover of the other good universities since 2006? I've posted the list of undecided's below and would appreciate some input...thanks</p>

<p>Last year, Duke and Dartmouth still gave the Writing SAT "SAT II status" but somewhat unofficially.. just in the sense that the SAT I matters A LOT MORE than the SAT II.</p>

<p>Georgetown doesn't count Writing and Penn Admissions openly said that during the 2006-2007 admissions year that the SAT Writing essay didn't affect their decisions for any of their tens of thousands of applicants.</p>
