<p>Which of the top 20 schools give equal weight to the writing section of the SAT?. I have not been able to find an up to date list.</p>
<p>This is not just of academic interest to me, because my son got an 800 on the writing section, so to the extent there are schools that give it equal weight, his chances of admission would obviously be increased.</p>
<p>Dunno about the top 20 colleges, but SAT Writing score DO MATTER! In fact, according to CollegeBoard, “Writing is the most predictive section of the SAT, slightly more predictive than either math or critical reading.”</p>
