Hi rohan911,

The answer to your question will likely depend on the specific Programs that you plan to apply to. While many Programs might not put much (or any) emphasis on an Applicant's AWA and IR Scores, that does NOT necessarily mean that you should be 'skipping' them on the GMAT. The AWA can help to define how well you can put together a reasonably worded and logical argument in a short period of time (as you will likely be expected to be able to do this as part of whatever career path you are on).

It appears that you already posted in this in the Admissions forum, so we should see what the Admissions Experts have to say. You might also consider contacting the Schools directly to ask. Even if you do so anonymously (or with a fake name), the Admissions Offices are there to answer your questions, so those representatives are likely the best source for answers to your questions.

Hi rohan911,

You should reach out directly to your target program(s).

That said, unless you start with AWA and IR, those sections can't affect your performance. Everyone wants to see the main scores, but try not to rush through those sections the next time around.

Hi rohan911,

There certainly is a possibility that you may run into issues with an IR score of 1 and an AWA score of 0. However, to get some more clarity regarding those scores, you may find it helpful to reach out to the folks in admissions to see what they have to say.
