How important is the writing section?

<p>I took the SAT in january and got CR 750, M 780, WR 800. I was really happy until my guidance counselor told me that colleges still aren't considering the writing section. I was inclined to disagree with him, but maybe this was just wishful thinking. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Maybe they don't consider it sometimes, but with an 800 on that section, I would imagine they'll notice. Great job!</p>

<p>Many colleges aren't. And when they do, it won't be equal to CR and math. You, however, don't have to worry.</p>
