Hello, All!
I was lucky enough to score a 750 on the GMAT (only self-study, in 2 months, yay!) but most likely got a low AWA (sub-4.5) due to exhaustion after the first three sections. My essay was only 3 paragraphs long with no clear transitions like "first of all", "in conclusion", etc. and I'm really worried I will end up having to retake the test beause of a dismal AWA score. I know that the scoring machine takes into account those clear transition phrases and length of the overall piece pretty heavily. The irony is that I'm definitely one of the most poet-esque people around, which is why I was too cocky to dedicate a sufficient amount of time brushing up on the AWA, focusing only on the V and Q.
I took the exam 2 days ago so my AWA score will probably be out in about a week, I think. If I do get a sub-4 AWA do you think I should retake if aiming for top 10 US 2y full-time program?
Thanks in advance for your thoughtful and objective responses!!

No, I think that you should relax. The fact that you got 750 speaks highly of your capability. However, it is upto the adcoms. Why don't you ask an admission consultant?
