Writing score of ACT

<p>Does Michigan look at the writing score of the ACT? I know it is required that you take the writing portion but for a while some schools were not really looking at it. Does anyone know if UM considers it as part of the overall score? I can't find the answer anywhere on the website.</p>

<p>its not gonna hurt or help your chances. unless you have a terrible writing score.</p>

<p>so a 12/12 is not really going to help?</p>

<p>plenty of students who apply to umich will have a perfect writing score. your scores are only a small portion of your application analysis</p>

<p>how about a 640 on the SAT1 writing? My Math and Reading combined is 1390, so the writing shouldn’t have too much bearing right? OOS btw.</p>

<p>no the writing should not have that much bearing at all. they only really care if you have an extremely low writing score.</p>

<p>Lindsy could you tell us where you received this info? Just wondering because you make many statements that I leave me scratching my head, esp. coming from an 18 year old who hasn’t been admitted yet.</p>
