<p>How important is the SAT Writing section to Hamilton College?</p>

<p>Well, since Hamilton lets you choose what tests to look at (so long as there’s 1 quantitative, 1 writing/reading and 1 other) you can choose not to include the writing section whatsoever. Of course, you’ll have to find something like an ACT section or an AP test to replace it.</p>

<p>But if you do include it, I’d say pretty important. Hamilton does really pride themselves on writing.</p>

<p>Not only the SAT (or ACT) writing section is important, but also your essay writing style is highly reviewed. This is a school that if you are not excited about writing and oral communications, you will have a tough time to adjust. Best of luck.</p>

<p>It’s very important. You can get away with other scores but almost everyone I know did exceptionally well on the writing section. It’s almost a given that more than half the admitted class will score 700 + on the writing section.</p>
