ACT Writing Score

Hi, I’m a junior and I just took the ACT. I got a comp 35 (35 e, 33 m, 34 r, 36 s) but I received an 8/12 for my writing score. I am probably going to retake the test because my composite is low, but I am concerned about the writing test. I got 8-8-8-8 and I felt I did pretty good. I want to apply to top schools, so will my writing score significantly damage my application?

8/12 is fine. with a 35 don’t resit.

You think a 35 is a low composite? … that makes me sick to my stomach.
