<p>But does Princeton consider the writing score of the SAT?</p>
<p>I thought they did, but when I went on a college tour at Columbia yesterday, the admissions officer said that all Ivies would be doing a 3 year study of the writing score and would not weight it during admissions.</p>
<p>what?!!?!?!! “would not weight it?” what does that mean?</p>
<p>amacing, are u sure the admissions officer said that ALL IVIES wouldn’t take it into consideration?</p>
<p>oookaay…now why in the world are they making us suffer for 3 hours and they wont “weight” it. Besides what exactly do they mean by weight? Atleast they would have to consider it, as they cannot 100% avoid it. Its impossible.</p>
<p>heh. there’s no way they would NOT look at it. possibly they would give it less consideration.</p>
<p>omg, well at other schools like PENN they say it “doesn’t count in the beginning,” and is used only to break “ties.” what the heck?!</p>
<p>oh you must be joking…the writing score…to break ties.?? ties for ED?? i thought that wasnt possible since theres is really no specific limit to the number of accpetance letters</p>
<p>well, there basically is for ED. they look to fill about exactly 50% or their total incoming class in the early round. but it’s kinda weird, because there can really be no “ties.” the whole evaluation process is done hollistically. i guess its when 2 candidates are brutally similar. hmmmm</p>
<p>I’m not really sure what she meant. She was kind of ambiguous. What I got from it was that they would consider it at a lower scale than the CR or MT scores.</p>
