<p>I was just on the collegeboard website, and i was viewing the columbia university school profile and noticed, they seem to have just added the middle 50% for the writing section. Only a few schools actually have their stats added, and others have a "-" under writing. I was wondering, if the school didnt report it, does that mean they are not looking at it closely yet, or they just didnt want to/ do it yet? Schools like UPenn, Columbia, and Stanford have reported them, but Cornell, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, and Brown have not. I am kinda happy to see that the middle 50% for Columbia was 660-700, which seems very low, especially for an IVY. Maybe this shows that they are totally disregarding the Writing section in their admission, and so those scores dont match up with the caliber of their students' CR and Math scores... im not sure... post here to discuss what you think!</p>
<p>I noticed this too. I already made a thread about it earlier today:</p>
<p>Sadly though, no one has posted in it yet.</p>
<p>Well anyways, do you have opinions on what it means?</p>
<p>I think it means that those schools w/writing ranges considered the Writing Section in admissions. </p>
