<p>will dartmouth consider NEW SAT writing section?</p>
<p>anyone?????????????</p>
<p>I heard most top colleges aren't giving much weight to it, but it won't reflect well if you get a 400 or something and English is your first language.</p>
<p>Dartmouth Dean of Admissions told me that they will not be considering the SAT writing, at least not yet. He said that they personally scored 300 writing tests, and found that their scores deviated from the collegboard, and therefore they will be overlooking the writing for now until the kinks are worked out. He also said that they might look at the essays, if they feel they need to know more about an applicant on the fence.</p>
<p>so does Dartmouth require the new SAT?</p>
