<p>I know that you need to take the writing portion of the ACT for UMich, but is the score of the writing a big portion when they evaluate your application? I didn't get a great score on it, and am wondering if I should try to improve it?</p>
<p>Not an important factor at all.</p>
<p>In the ACT, unlike the SAT, individual sections are not weighed as heavily as the composite. Regardless, Michigan places very little weight on the writing sections of the SAT or ACT. </p>
