Low AWA score. Please suggest

by brightside » Sat Sep 10, 2011 5:38 am
Hi I got a 760 (51,41) and AWA 4.5. I am in a dilemma on what would be interpreted from my AWA score by the adcom, what effect it would have if my essays are decent enough if not good. Please comment on this.

Thanks

A 99th percentile score and an average AWA score (from a non-native speaker) sound great to me!

If you're concerned about the AWA, I suggest that you try speaking with the admin personnel at your target schools and ask what they think.

Cheers,
Brent
