Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

Hello Scott
This is a great forum.
I am seeking to app to Wharton.
but i got a sinking feeling when i recieved my AWA score.
3.5!!!! Cannot believe it.
Following are my stats for GMAT: V-38, Q-47 TOtal 690
As an engineer ( another one) I have been writing failure analysis, Service documents et al which is used company wide and worlwide.
overall not a crappy writer as indicated by AWA.
Now questions:
(1) How much does AWA weigh when the ADcom looks at it?
(2) Do they look at V score and say this is OK?
(3) Should i ask my Manager to specifically write a sentence or two in reco letter stating : eventhough his AWA sucks it doesnt indicate his writing skills"?
(4) where in the essays if needed should i talk abt AWA?
(5) or should i just forget MBA
Thanks

I am not sure how important AWA is. But based on comments here and even on other sites/text it appears that AWA is not really significant.
Dont worry, go ahead and apply!

Yeah it's not really that significant. I you got a 2 on your AWA and had essays that looked Shakespearean, that would probably raise eyebrows, but a 3.5 won't really hurt you.
