Hi Gmatclub,
I was very excited to have scored a GMAT score of 730 (q47,v45) on my test yesterday, although, I made a mistake on the AWA section in which I accidentally submitted the page thinking that is was a draft page and that the next page would be the area I actually write my essay (really it was the end of the test). Therefore, I probably got a 0
. Secondly, My IR score was a 2.
THOUGH, in my first 650 test I scored an IR of 6 and an AWA of 4. I still have this score and did not cancel it.
I would like to apply to top 10 programs. My GPA is a 3.85 from a decent undergrad. My extra curriculars are VERY strong along with VERY strong recommendations from some industry leaders. I doubt I could go in and score a 730 again (most likely a 700-720) and am now upset I worked EXTREMELY hard for this score only to maybe not matter. Can someone please shed some light on if I need to retake this test because my subs will destroy my application? Looking forward to hearing back. I definitely would like to know soon as I need to know if I am going to have to retake.
ALSO, if I do retake and sore lower overall with higher AWA and IR, will that hurt my application as well?
Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
Frank

Hi flapjack29,
This is a tough one! Very sorry to hear about the mistake. It's good that you have your IR and AWA scores from a previous test. If you are able to retake, it is worth doing that. Hopefully you can get the same score, but if not, higher AWA and IR scores would still alleviate any potential concerns.
Regardless of your re-test score, do consider explaining the situation in your optional essay.
Best of luck with the re-test!
Sincerely,
Debbie
