Low AWA 4.0

by priyank12 » Thu Aug 27, 2009 1:22 am
Hi,

I have a gmat score of 740. But my AWA is 4.0. I thought i did very well in AWA, but to my surprise I only scored 4.0.
How will this affect my applications. I have devoted lot of time in writing my essays and they are in very good shape. Now will low AWA create a doubt in adcom committe about my essays.
Overall I want to know how will AWA score 4.0 affect my applications, should I consider writing gmat again ?


Thanks !!

Hi Priyank,

Thanks for your post. The AWA is used by adcoms to evaluate your language and communication skills. Are you an international applicant? If so, a high score on the TOEFL will certainly help offset the AWA. It sounds like you must have done well on the verbal portion of the GMAT to have scored a 740. This again will be a nice way to offset the AWA. You certainly want to devote a lot of time to writing your essays to help qualm any additional concerns.

Best,

Stacey
