How does Western use the writing section of the SAT and ACT?
Whether you loved it or didn’t quite see the point, you don’t need to worry about it this year. Instead, we rely on the personal essay you submit with the application to get a sense of your writing skills, and more important, to get to know you. If you didn’t do as well on the writing section of the test, this gives you a new opportunity to let your writing shine. If you did great on that section, chances are you’ll do just as well (or even better) on your personal essay.
