More Colleges Will Require Writing Tests of Future Freshmen
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.
A growing number of colleges will require future applicants to take a standardized writing test, even though some admissions officials question the value of such tests.
Penn State University, which receives 50,000 undergraduate applications each year, announced last month that it would require students applying for admission in 2006 and thereafter to complete either the SAT or ACT writing test.
