<p>The U of C doesn’t use the Writing score portion of the SAT I in their admission process. Instead, they pay very close attention to the essays, especially the one prompted one. So despite having an 800 SAT in Writing, you are going to have to prove how well you can write. If you really want to attend the U. of C., you should spend a good amount of time on the UChicago specific essays. Indeed, last year I saw someone on CC with 2350+ SAT’s who got accepted at Caltech and Yale but rejected at Chicago. He admitted that his problem was his essays.</p>
