<p>I know that Notre Dame bases their sat off of a 1600 point scale, as they exclude writing. However, does the admissions office even catch a glance at your writing section, or its it automatically filtered out to save time? I ask because I have an 800 writing, and it would be a shame if they didn't even notice it.</p>
<p>From what my daughter’s counselor told her, believe what they say. They do not consider the writing score.</p>
