ACT Score Question?
The college I’m applying to early admission doesn’t require the writing test. Do you think that score is enough to kick me out of serious consideration if all my other stuff (grades, strength of schedule,extracurriculars, leadership) are up to snuff.

Admittedly a 6 is a bad score given everything else in your ACT report, so I understand your concern but I do not think that the Writing Test will figure into the admissions formulas and therefore should not affect you.
Honestly, if you are really concerned have a friend, who is not applying to those schools, call up the admissions office and ask the question: “how bad is it?” There are no consequences for you since you aren’t calling and your friend won’t care b/c he is not applying there anyway.
Seriously though, I would not worry about it. Worry about your app, worry about your personal statement, but don’t worry about a crappy essay score when the school does not require its submission.
