Do ADCOMs really care about the PAT?

So far all the websites I've visited have made no particular mention of emphasizing the PAT score in the admissions process. I've heard from some schools that they look at RC scores, and there was even one equation that UNLV used that left out QR and PA completely.

I'm just a little frustrated, with my GPA in the shams I just feel a little hopeless especially when I hear schools don't care about most of the sections I did well in. 😕

I know the doc will probably post those links but I think the schools that have accepted people with high PAs happen to take them in because they just so happen to have high scores in everything else. Have you guys heard from ADCOMs directly that they don't really care about PA so long as its not lower than say a 17? I only know that UCLA cares about the PAT but they also expect a high GPA =(

Definitely...some schools more than others.
Also, I know some schools don't even look at the PAT score at all.

I think that is rediculously unfair, why put it on if you are not going to consider it.
