Hello David,
I received my GMAT scores today and to my dismay i saw that i scored a 3 on the AWA section. My overall GMAT score was 710 (45 quant, 41 verbal), but due to nervousness at the beginning of the exam, i did extremely poorly on the essays. I was happy with my GMAT score before seeing my AWA score. I heard that schools generally ignore the AWA score, is there any truth to this? Do i need to retake my GMAT in order to raise my AWA? Can i simply explain my low score in the essay?
Note:I plan on applying to HBS and Wharton along with one or two other top b-schools.
Thanks in advance!
Reza
