Low AWA 4.0

by priyank12 » Thu Aug 27, 2009 1:26 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 -

With a 740 overall score on the GMAT, I would not worry too much about your AWA score. Focus your efforts on building compelling narratives that highlight a multi-dimensional candidacy.

I hope this helps.
