<p>If we received emails stating that we were recommended, that means that we have a choice in taking the writing placement exam, right? </p>
<p>Does anyone know how they decide who is recommended to take the placement exam? Because, I've honestly thought that writing was definitely one of my greatest strengths in school having a 5 on the AP Language exam, a 10 out of 12 on my ACT Essay (didn't send SAT) and pretty good admissions essays that were reviewed at least 10 times. So I don't really know what other writing samples they could have gotten that led them to believe I am lacking in writing skills.</p>
