How important is AWA part?

by cpanttser » Fri Nov 06, 2009 1:10 pm
Hi All,
I'm non-native speaker. I took GMAT last week and made 660. It's not bad for me, enough to be admitted to the desired program. I was happy with the result. Especially if take into account that I had not much time to study because my 7-months old son realy didn't like that his MOM was studying but not playing with him:)))But today I've got official report, and I ......made only 4,5 points on essays. it's terrible result!!!!With only 37% below. I was really shocked cause the essays were really easy for me to write:(
so does anybody know how important awa part is(especially for PhD programs?
Thank you very much for your help.
