GMAT 740 but 3.5 AWA, can low AWA hurt application for S16?

Hi there,
First off - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Sometimes folks on this forum get so caught up in the details they don't take the time to enjoy the good news. YOU HAVE AN AWESOME SCORE! Well done mate!
As to your AWA, it might be a flag at the top 5 or so (because they can be picky when it comes to the admissions process) but overall at the top 16, it shouldn't be the reason you don't get in. As I mentioned above, it isn't reported, so they don't care TOO much. But it is something they look at. You can remedy it with a really strong set of essays - clear, concise, well-written, and engaging.
Don't sweat it too much though - you have the GMAT score, now it's time to get to work on those apps!
Congrats again,
Bhavik
