Profile evaluation <750/4.5>

[aman.rathi]

Hi Sir/Madam,
I just wrote my GMAT. Got a score of 750.
Verbal : 44/97%
Quant : 48/82%
AWA : 4.5/37%

Does the low % in AWA warrant a re-take of GMAT if I intend to target top 10 schools (assuming that I have an average work-ex)? I heard that a score of above 4.0 in AWA is kind of fine but the 37% conveys its much below the average.

thanks very much,

Hi Aman,

Thanks for writing and congratulations on a great GMAT score. AWA is usually one of the last factors considered so I don't think a 4.5 warrants a retake, especially since it's difficult to be sure that you get a 750 again.

Good luck!
