<p>For ppl who wanted to know (which included myself) this website from Kaplan (so slightly credible) indicates that Yale along with several other colleges does not consider the writing section:</p>
<p>KAPLAN</a> EXCLUSIVE: New SAT Scoring Policies from 374 Top Schools</p>
<p>I don't know how to make a link so that is the URl.</p>
<p>Oh never mind, the link was made for me.</p>
<p>Wouldn't a poor writing score on the SAT hurt you even if they don't care? I mean, do they even see it? (Just curiosity).</p>
<p>Kaplan as a source for Yale? No.</p>
<p>i would be surprised if they don't take the Writing Section into account (is Kaplan that reliable?), especially since after the new SAT, they dropped the 3rd SAT II requirement.</p>
<p>Well, perhaps they would view it as an SAT 2?</p>
<p>In the days of the old SAT's 3 SAT 2's were required and as I recall Writing needed to be one of them. To say they "don't care" is obviously wrong. Do they still use some formula that weighs the original 2 differently? That's anybody's guess.</p>
