- GMAT Score:750
Hi guys,
I have a question, anybody is welcome to comment, but if we have any former adcom types, it will be especially helpful:
My official GMAT scores just came out and I'm pretty concerned about it.
24 September 2012
Verbal 44 / 97%
Quant 48 / 78%
Overall 750 / 98%
AWA 4.0 / 20% (?????)
IR 8 / 92%
This is a load of crap. I remember what I wrote during AWA, and it was a well constructed, well written argument. I didn't gaffe it off or anything like that. I've never, ever, ever failed to score below 6.0 on AWA. I mean, look at my verbal scores for goodness sakes - it's obviously a strength of mine.
Look at my previous scores:
27 January 2012 42 / 96% 47 / 73% 730 / 96% 6.0 / 90% ~ / ~
05 December 2011 41 / 93% 47 / 73% 710 / 92% 6.0 / 90% ~ / ~
04 November 2011 40 / 90% 46 / 71% 700 / 90% 6.0 / 90% ~ / ~
So yeah, I'm really ticked off. What's going on? I wish I could appeal this. I know some people say that AWA doesn't really matter, but 20th percentile? That's a really bad black eye.
Will this damage my chances at top tier business schools?
