<p>Is writing really AS important as reading and math?my counselor always tells me to focus on the reading and maths sections (international student). I am applying to : uc's bu umich northeastern.
Will the writing portion be ESSENTIAL in the making of the decision?I am stuck on a 550...</p>
<p>Hmm… I know some colleges don’t even consider the writing section at all… But I would say most universities look at the writing section.</p>
<p>it’s different for some colleges. Some don’t even look at it (only a couple do this now). Others think of it as less than math or critical reading (about equal to a subject test). And others count it just as much.</p>
<p>Thanks for replying. Does anyone know if the writing portion is important for the universities I listed?</p>
<p>Look for yourself: </p>
<p>For UMich,</p>
<p><a href=“BigFuture College Search”>BigFuture College Search;
<p>click applying on the left panel and then SAT and ACT scores from the bottom panel. </p>
<p>For other universities just use the search feature at the top.</p>
<p>For the vast majority of universities the writing portion is considered.</p>
<p>Practicing I mostly suggest reading this:</p>
<p>[Complete</a> SAT Grammar Rules](<a href=“http://thecriticalreader.com/general-grammar-tips/sat-grammar/item/264-complete-sat-grammar-rules.html]Complete”>http://thecriticalreader.com/general-grammar-tips/sat-grammar/item/264-complete-sat-grammar-rules.html)</p>
<p>And just knocking out practice sections. after you finish, go through and mark the rules that were broken for each question you found difficult, right or wrong.</p>
