The cool thing about writing is that if you’re good at it, it’s likely to show up in your essays (what other talent has a clear place on the app to showcase themselves?).

You can also enter contests and see if you can’t get some recognition for your writing. I don’t know why type of writing you’re into, but some good contests are:
Scholastic Art and Writing Awards
National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts (NFAA) (seniors only)
Princeton poetry contest
WashU poetry/short story contest (nemerov awards? i think that’s what it’s called)
Kenyon Review poetry contest
Ayn Rand essay contest
etc
