<p>For colleges who will accept the ACT + Writing instead of SAT I + SAT II's, is the essay a large part of the ACT score? How much emphasis do they put on it?</p>
<p>Nope, the essay has a very small bearing on what you get the ACT. I didn’t do so great on the essay. But, I still got a high score on the part involving the essay. Don’t worry about it. :)</p>
