High CAT, low AWA

by mgross » Thu Aug 07, 2008 9:35 am
Hi,

I received a 760 (Q49 V44) on the CAT section, but got a 4.5 on the AWA. I am thinking of having the AWA re-evaluated. Do you think I should have it re-evaluated or consider re-writing the GMAT because of this?

I am considering applying to top US schools.

Thank you for the help.

Regards,
Mike

I wouldn't worry about it at all, you're in good shape.
