<p>I also recall seeing a listing of colleges and their judgments on how Writing would be used for this past season’s admissions…perhaps by Princeton Review, but I could not re-find that list…probably outdated by now anyway. I think your approach of asking each school is really the only way to go, as a school’s use of the Writing piece is brand new & likely to change year-to-year.</p>
