All CSUs except SLO: see CSUMentor - Plan for College - High School Students - Calculate Your Eligibility Index . This eligibility index, which does not use the SAT-W, is used to rank-order applicants for an impacted major or campus to determine admission; a minimum of 2900 (in-state) or 3502 (out-of-state) is needed for admission to a non-impacted major on a non-impacted campus.

Cal Poly SLO: see Common Data Set - Office of Institutional Planning & Analysis - Cal Poly (section C8.C of the common data set indicates that SAT-W is not used).

Note that automatic admission based on a threshold Regents' Admission Index (excluding SAT-W) admits only a portion of the class, similar to how class rank only admits only a portion of the class at Texas public universities.

In general, looking at section C8.C of the school's common data set should reveal how the SAT-W is used, if it is used.
