I’d disagree with the SAT writing part of your assertion, but otherwise, I’d agree that (if a college wanted to evaluate writing ability), a graded writing sample would do the job (and also give some perspective to the student’s English grades).

I know of far too many brilliant writers whose SAT writing scores don’t reflect this.
