<p>My D took ACT but for some reason didn't sign up for the writing portion - U of Illinois requires the writing portion of ACT or SAT She plans to apply this month to business and will submit her SAT since it includes writing. Will they even look at her ACT if we submit it since it doesn't include the writing component? She did well on ACT (30) and doesn't want to take it again. How does the University use the writing component in their assessment of applications?</p>
<p>They say that its "required," so I assume she needs to retake the ACT with the writing portion or her application will not be considered.</p>
<p>I think you should both the ACT that she took without writing and the SAT that she took with writing.</p>
