<p>So I got my SAT results back, and I got a 640 on reading, 650 on math, and a 720 on writing. Will the writing section help me with my other scores?</p>
<p>You must ask every college you’re applying to. I know that several universities don’t care about writing scores -you can find on their websites. Think Colgate was one of them</p>
<p>Depends for each college. If you get a 500 on writing, you can bet that top colleges will not look upon that score favorably. Colleges look more closely at the math & CR, but if colleges didn’t care about writing scores, then why are their middle 50% in writing high? All the sections are important. Few schools might not look at it, but the overwhelming majority of colleges do, so do well.</p>
<p>It won’t “help with your other scores,” and yeah, it’s generally deprioritized and some schools even ignore it altogether.</p>
