How much does the ACT writing score matter?

<p>I got:</p>

<p>C:32
E:32
M:33
R:32
S:31</p>

<p>but... I got a 7 on my writing bringing my combined english/writing score to a 28.</p>

<p>How much of a role does this play in admissions? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Generally the composite # is the most important to them. I don’t really think they care honestly, a 7 is low though so I would prolly retake.</p>

<p>Hmm thats annoying. I was happy with my score but the writing score just ruined it.</p>

<p>I personally think you’re fine. If you have time to retake it you might as well because of schools super score it. You can typically look online though to see whether or not the colleges you’re looking at care. </p>

<p>Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Okay thanks. I think I might as well retake it since it was my first time taking it anyway.</p>

<p>Good plan! I will be retaking it as well. Don’t get down on yourself about the essay score. It’s a small part and you should be proud of you accomplishments! :)</p>
