MIT says on their admissions website that they require the SAT with writing, and as I recall I had to self-report my writing score on my application. So I’d imagine MIT does take a look at the writing score, though you’d be correct in assuming it does not carry as much weight as verbal or math. This is probably true for most selective colleges.
