You know I'm wondering if there's something screwy going on with the AW section. I got a 750V 710Q and a 4.5AW(!). I actually did a double-take when I saw the score. I have a 3.9 cum GPA at a top-tier state school with a decent PGR ranking (and a dozen-and-a-half phil courses under my belt) so this really took me by surprise. Interestingly, I have been hearing more and more of scores like these. Is it possible the assessors are really not up to the task of fairly evaluating the writing samples of those of us with fairly rigorous philosophical training? I'm not going to bother retaking the test as I've already been offered spots at two of the programs I applied to, but I'm curious whether this trend will continue.
