<p>I heard that some colleges don't look at the SAT Writing section because it is too new. Is this a myth or are there some top schools that really don't look at it? Are there any that are known too ignore the writing score?</p>
<p>I don't think it matters too much since I have a 770 writing but without it I have a perfect SAT I and 3 perfect SAT IIs. I was just curious.</p>
<p>For example, MIT last year asked only for the critical reading and math sections of the SAT. It depends on the university or college in question; usually this information is on their website, and if it's not, you could always call or visit the admissions office. Are their any particular schools you are interested in?</p>
<p>770 is near perfection. Not to worry too much. Yeah, I did read somewhere, they don't know how to account for the writing section yet.</p>
<p>It wasn't important for the Class of 2006, it was somewhat important for the Class of 2007 (I had to put my Writing score for all of my applications, including MIT)...I can only think that it would increase in importance for the Classes of 2008 and onwards.</p>
<p>But uhm, 770 is very good. There is a +/- 30 point margin for SAT tests, so 770 basically comes across as a 800. I got into schools fine with my 690 o.O</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry too much about it. Colleges will look at it for the upcoming year but that is a very good score. From what I've heard, most colleges consider all scores of 2300+ as equal.</p>
<p>2370 and 3 800's is basically perfect...stop worrying.</p>
