Do Colleges Care Much About Writing on the SAT?

<p>Do they? I've heard that some don't care much, but they are slowly beginning to care more. I got an 800 on writing and would be very sad if it didn't matter a lot. If different colleges value writing differently, please list which value it most and which least (and list the Ivies, if you can). </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, there have been a few threads with a list of how schools use this. You might try an advanced search. Alos the common data sets of each school tells you how they use them.</p>
