<p>So I got an 8 on my writing score, bringing my english score from a 35 to 31. I have a composite score of 36, and I kno the writing doesnt affect the composite.<br>
How do colleges view the essay part? Will getting the 8 hurt me even with a 36 composite?</p>
<p>If my math is correct, then your composite score (if you're factoring the English in your sub score) is still 34 or 35. That still puts you in the top 1% of all ACT takers.</p>
<p>No worries.</p>
<p>no it wont hurt it</p>
