AWA Part
Posted by - carito2013 - on 31 December 2012 - 4:54pm
Hi, I was wondering if/how the top B schools look at the AWA score. Is a 5 good enough? Or do they always expect a 6?

Hi there,
5 is fully sufficient. They just want to see that you can express yourself in English grammatically correct and that you are able to structure your thoughts, for instance by writing an essay with
- introduction
- what speaks for an argument
- what speaks against it
- summary
The main score is the GMAT score. If you have 6 or 5 in the AWA is irrelevant. With a high GMAT score I guess that even 4 would be fine.
Best wishes
Thomas
