just got my Final score.. Got a 5 in analytical writing and a 7 in Integrated reasoning .. do you guys think it matters? the AWA and IR score?

Thanks once again .
Those scores look good enough. The 720 is what matters.

Hey ruchitpuri--

A 5 AWA is a little low but it coincides with your verbal so not too surprising. We hardly recommend retesting to raise the AWA, it's the least important part of the test (though not unimportant). The IR is very good (*very* good) but it doesn't really count for anything anyway since the schools aren't actively using it for decisions this year.

I did Jim, Thanks. However, until now I ve only heard back from Harvard - and I didn't get an interview there :( . Still waiting on others.. very worried coz I assume by now the interview process must have started?

do you know of the timeline for interviews for stanford, wharton, MIT and NYU by any chance?
