I'm just curious how much stock some schools put into the writing score, considering it doesn't factor into your composite. I'm one of the people who got a 5 so I'm wondering how much impact that would have with the adcoms.

I think most schools just want to make sure you're a good enough writer to get a 3 or better. Since it's a fairly new thing, I don't think they pay that much attention to it. I could be wrong though.
