How do UCs use SAT scores?

<p>For L&S students, do UCs (specifically UC Berkeley) look at individual sections of the SAT or only the composite score? I've heard some colleges see more value in the critical reading and math sections than the writing section.</p>

<p>since UC spearheaded the drive for the W section, and literally forced Collegeboard to add it to the SAT, I would think that UC-L&S considers it equally with the other two.</p>
