p287 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) I got my official GRE results back today and was surprised by a fairly low AW score. My scores are 162V, 156Q, and 4.0AW. I am a strong writer and thought I had done better on this section. I know that AW is typically not weighted too heavily, but I am a Communication/Media Studies PhD applicant and am worried I might miss the cutoffs. My target schools include UC Boulder and U Denver, and my reach school is UCSB. Should I retake and/or have the score reviewed, or am I over-worrying? I have a 3.8 undergraduate GPA and 4.0 GPA in Master's program. Edited October 23, 2018 by p287 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loffire Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I personally think you should focus on the other areas of your application. Try to make the rest airtight and supplement your awa scores with a strong SOP and/or maybe a writing sample p287 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
