I just passed my GMAT exam for the first time a few days ago and received my official score report.
Total: 680, V39 (88%), Q44 (44%), IR 5(47%), AWA 3
While most of the scores are pretty satisfactory, the AWA is giving me some doubts.
I am not a native english speaker and my undergraduate studies were conducted in French, so I have very little experience in english critical writing.
The gmat is not mandatory for the programs I am applying to ( Yonsei global MBA & sungkyunkwan full-time MBA).
I have also contacted the admissions office of university regarding the GMAT score range they consider as a solid to support my application and their answer was : “We do not have a minimum requirement for GMAT. So, if you submit the GMAT score, we will provide you the extra point.”
Should I retake the exam or try to compensate with a good statement of purpose and a study plan that includes working on my written communication skills?

Hi Meriem01,
At many US Schools, a 3.0 on the AWA would probably be an issue, but if the Schools/Programs that you plan to apply to have told you directly that they don't care about your AWA, then I have to assume that they don't care - and that a retest is not necessary. You should certainly do your best to make sure that each aspect of your application is as strong as you can make it, so crafting well-written essays (and potentially preparing for an interview) would be a good idea regardless.

Might be worth reaching out to alumni or current students for their thoughts.
