You don't need to do better than that, you already have their average GMAT score. From here on, the essays and recomandations can push you through. Good luck!

Hi,

Thanks for your post. Given your GMAT is just one component of the application and your score is on par with their average I would not worry about it too much. Provided you have compelling stories for your essays you should be okay. Also, in regard to the 4.5 AWA, you need not worry too much about it as long as English is your native language.

Best,

Stacey

Thanks for the advice Stacey. Could you please explain more about your take on AWA since English is not my first language?

Sure thing. The AWA is a great way for adcoms to assess the written communication skills of applicants. This can be particularly useful for applicants if English isn't their first language. The AWA is often thought to be a snapshot of communication skills, unlike essays where applicants can take the time to polish and perfect them. A low AWA score (below 4.5) could certainly cause the adcom to further scrutinize essays, the resume, GMAT verbal score, etc.

I hope this helps!
