Good composite score but bad writing???

I got a 36 composite score on the ACT, but only an 8 on the writing as a sophomore.
I’m very worried about my writing score, but should I take the ACT again? I want to go to top 15 school, and I don’t know if this is enough.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Don’t retake it. Many of the top places have ditched the writing requirement, and those that haven’t recognize full well that this is not an accurate sample of your writing ability. That score will not keep you out of any place you are otherwise qualified for.

I got the same score on writing , writing requirements are BS and its not even worth retaking for a better score considering you already got a 36 (congrats by the way).

DOn’t retake pls

If it makes you feel any better, I did the same on composite and only got a 6 on writing. It happens
