High CAT, low AWA
Hi,
I received a 760 (Q49 V44) on the CAT section, but got a 4.5 on the AWA. I am thinking of having the AWA re-evaluated. Do you think I should have it re-evaluated or consider re-writing the GMAT because of this?
I am considering applying to top US schools.
Thank you for the help.
Regards,
Mike

AWA - 4.5
So I just found out my AWA was 4.5 and I am definitely not happy about this. I certainly thought I scored better than that, but I guess not. Will this significantly affect my ability to get into top schools? With a 760 and an AWA of 4.5, does anyone think that I should rewrite the GMAT? I guess this...

Morning practice
Hi Xbond, With respect to your question: When you write, do 40 problems, you mean 20 Quant (10 PS / 10 DS) and 20 Verbal (RC/SC/CR - How many for each section ?) When I say do 40 problems, that is what I did. I typically did 10 PS / 10 DS and 7/7/7 for verbal (or when I was using Kaplan online quiz ...

Sticky
Hi sindhoor27,
It looks like the stickies just come from the moderators, so I don't think this will be added. However, thank you very much for mentioning that - I appreciate the positive feedback.

Getting into Schools
Hi Alpha,
Thank you very much for the vote of confidence. I am just concerned that I am too cookie cutter and therefore need to somehow differentiate myself not only in the essays, but also with extra curricular and entrepreneurial activities.

Harvard
You will need very strong extra curricular activities and entrepreneurial work experience. Basically, with a score like that, you need to really separate yourself from everyone in the field. If you own your own business and do a lot of volunteering and have global experience, you have a chance. I ha...

Problems increasing quant score
Hi tlt2372, Definitely keep track of what you are getting right and what you are getting wrong. That is the only way to know where you need to go back and learn theory. Bucket the ones that you got wrong into different categories (geometry, absolute values, exponents, tables, missing information, ra...
