Does the writing section count that much?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>My S did well on the M and CR (750/630) but only got a 590 (8 on the essay). Will the writing hurt his chances at some good schools (BC,Villanova,Lehigh)?</p>

2

<p>Some schools don’t look at the writing section. I think the best you can do is ask the schools since each school varies.</p>

3

<p>Since my son already applied to these schools (EA) with the exception of Lehigh, there really is no use in calling. The “wait and see” approach will have to do.</p>

4

<p>I’m almost positive that Lehigh doesn’t look at the writing section.</p>
