Hello, everyone. My name is Justin Lee. I'm from Taiwan, and I major in Finance and Business Administration (double-majored) in National Taiwan University(World top 70).
I just finished my fourth GMAT class online with 730, V38, Q50, IR 8 but without AWA score. (but I get 5.0 in previous uncancelled physical tests)
I will apply for an MBA degree in 4-5 years.
Currently, I am a senior student who will graduate in June, 2021 and got a front office offer from world top 3 asset management company.
My dream schools are CBS and Wharton.
I am wondering whether M7 really cares about AWA score.
Actually, I took 4 GMAT tests in total, 2 of which are cancelled.
In another uncancelled test, I got gmat 690 with AWA 5.0.
Some people tell me that schools will see all my valid score, so I don't have to worry that the online test doesn't include AWA.
However, I am not sure whether schools really count my previous AWA score.
I am here to ask for opinion and suggestion.
Thank you and wish you all the best.

Probably fair to say it is unlikely the AWA will be a sticking point in your app.
Gratz on the 730.

Hello, leeemowlimeow. I agree with what has been written above. Not only can a school not hold a lack of an AWA score against you in a COVID scenario—maybe you are only able to take the online exam where you live—but I have had clients who have gotten into M7s with AWA and IR scores that are not standouts. A 4.0 in AWA is just fine, as is a 5.0 in IR. (And sometimes even those numbers can be negotiated.)
I would suggest getting some work experience under your belt, as it sounds you are keen on doing anyway. Within five years (since your score will expire thereafter), with a 730 GMAT™ score in tow, you ought to stand a chance at many top business schools. Bottom line: a valid GMAT™ score is considered valid for five years. Your application essays will go far beyond anything that an AWA score would provide to an admissions committee.
Good luck.
