I took the GMAT for the first time this month and did not spend enough time preparing AWA and IR. I am normally a good writer, but unfortunately the combination of nerves and lack of preparation got the better of me in the first two sections.
I would very much appreciate your advice on whether I should retake the GMAT.
I have also appended below my stats and target schools in hopes of getting your overall assessment on my odds.
