GMAT score 730...AWA 4.0

by vikasc » Thu Aug 21, 2008 3:54 am
Hello,

I gave GMAT on 18th August....2 days back...

My score was 730 Q-50,V-38
I am pretty OK with it...
But my AWA score was a dismal 4.0...

I am a bit uncomfortable with this AWA score as it might affect my chances of admissions to B-schools...I read in a few blogs that universities are generally fine with your AWA score unless it is too low...any comments??

The AWA score most likely won't affect your admissions. Basically, anything 4.0 and over is acceptable. Most schools recognize that two 30 minute essays may not be representative of your true writing abilities. Just make sure you write some excellent admissions essays!
