<p>When we visited Colby last year, they went out of the way to state (at the info session) that they do consider the SAT writing score. </p>
<p>According to the common data set, the 25th -75th percentiles for the writing section for freshmen enrolling in Fall 2012 was 610-710.</p>

<p>Put another way, less than 17% of entering freshmen had writing scores below 600. I’m betting many of these are “hooked” (ie. athletes, URMs, etc.) Do everything possible to get that writing score up. I’m sure if there was no prep the first time around, he will be able to do that.</p>
