I took the GMAT last week and got a 750 with a 48 on Quant and 45 on verbal. I had made peace with the lowish Q score but I received my official score today and got only a 4.5 on AWA. I am a native speaker and usually do well on essays but I didn't practice AWA at all and did not know that longer is better for the GMAT so I only wrote a 3 paragraph essay, which I think could be the cause of the low score. A 48 on quant places me only in the 73rd percentile and that combined with the low AWA is making me consider a retake. I am aiming for a top 10 school or Anderson. What do you guys think?
Other relevant information
3.95 GPA in accounting from a no name state school.
I will only have 2 years of post bachelors full time experience if I apply this fall but I worked full time throughout my time in college because I started a business with my father during my freshman year. The business was the main reason I didn't attend a more prestigious undergrad. I took over reins of the business during my senior year and it has grown substantially under my leadership.

Hi zuko23,
First off, a 750/Q48 is an outstanding score (it's well above the 90th percentile overall), so you should apply to any Business Schools that interest you. In basic terms, Business Schools don't put too much of an emphasis on the AWA score; as long as you score a 4.0 or higher, then you should be fine. With a 4.5, you shouldn't have any issues there. All things considered, there's no obvious reason for you to retake the GMAT.
You're ultimately asking Admissions questions though, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
