SAT individual scores?

<p>I've been reading alot of posts where people only look at the Math+CR scores. Why is this?</p>

<p>And do schools like the UCs look at SAT scores this way too? (I say this because my math and writing are good, but my CR is somewhat lower than both)</p>

<p>i don;t no...but i really hope they put less weight on writing score(my writing score is 120 pts lower than my lowest score of the other two sections)...or not even look at it >< i'll be sooo happy...but i believe ucs look at all 3...some highly elite privates exclude writing score. i hope some middle tier privates weigh writing lower =(</p>
