AWA Score 3.0

by skse42 » Sun Mar 23, 2014 1:17 am
I did pretty well on my overall score which is 730 but I pretty much bombed AWA.
Should I retake the exam or provide an optional away to explain why I got 3.0?
Wonder if the AWA score is critical

What do you guys think?

Hi skse42,

Most (if not all) US Business schools expect applicants to score at least a 4.0 on the AWA. Schools also have the option to read your essay.

I can't say for sure how any individual school would interpret your essay score, so you might consider posting this question in the Admissions Forum (on this site) and seeing what the Admissions Experts have to say. My instinct is to say that it could be a problem, but if you have a strong overall application, then it might not matter at all.
