Weightage for AWA (GRE) in MBA Application [#permalink] New post   31 Dec 2020, 01:51

Hello, I recently took GRE and got 328(Q170,V158), but my AWA score seems to be pretty less. I just got 3 in AWA, maybe I really messed this section due to exam stress as it is the first section. Is this AWA score fine for applying to MBA in Top 20 or should I retake to improve my AWA score?? Do adcomm give high preference to GRE AWA score too??

Hi bbsk007, I don't think that should be a major concern. Typically the overall score matters most, and you have a very strong one. While a higher AWA score would be ideal, schools will have other ways to evaluate your writing through your application essays. I would not retake just for that reason, especially if you're planning to apply soon.

Hope that helps!
Kate
