Individual SAT section scores vs. composite

Almost every application I fill out asks for your best Verbal and Math scores from the SAT and/or your best ACT composite score. I got an 800 on the math, 620 CR, and 640 writing. My question is: Do colleges place more emphasis on your SAT composite or your individual sections?

Any feedback or personal experience would be great, especially if you know someone in a similar case.
