Thank you Lisa and rajeshsources for the information. I just got my AWA score today ..
It awful ... 4.5 ... I can't believe.

I'm not sure how this is going to impact my admissions. Is there a way that I can mitigate this low score.
Or should I consider revaluation of AWA section

[Lisa Anderson]

Your essays and interview will mitigate your AWA. It is not worth your time to have it re-evaluated, in my opinion, as it does not impact your GMAT score. The AWA will be factored in, but the quality of your essays will have a greater impact.

Good luck,
Lisa
