When taking the ACT does the writing section matter?

<p>Should you take it or just the composite?</p>

<p>take da wrighting i think they require</p>

<p>Yes, you must take it. ACT</a> Writing Test : College's Decisions
Go there to make sure.</p>

<p>Take the writing.</p>

<p>But I think it's like their policy for the SAT, in that they don't factor your writing score into your decision. They're just compiling writing scores to get a range of how Vandy students do on the writing, so when they DO factor writing, they'll know how to compare.</p>

<p>That's what the admissions person told us at our tour this summer. Take the test but don't worry about the score.</p>

<p>Ok, that is what I was hoping. I took it but didn't do as well as I had hoped and was concerned that could hurt me.</p>

<p>I think not so much. My daughter was admitted last year with a 33 composite (but an 8 on the writing section). She's actually a very good writer, it just didn't translate to the test.</p>

<p>The better the school, the more demanding the testing. I'd be surprised if Vandy doesn't want the writing.</p>
