lifeistolearn Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) Hello, Gradcafe members, I recently took GRE and got a wonderful score(1600) on GRE but low AWA score(3.0). I was sure I was going to do well on Vand Q but for AWA, I was able to sense that my writing will be horrible as I was writing it down. Also, it was sure thing since I didn't prepare anything about writing but studying verbal and quant like a maniac.. So far, I recently graduated with B.S Comp Sci with last two year gpa of 3.5 from Cal Poly. overall GPA is 3.0. Now I am planning to apply for M.S Comp Sci. My question is.. "is my poor AWA score going to make my application look really bad?" if there's a solution to make up my awa score? what should I do? if I apply for this year, I will be applying without writing a research paper. If I apply for next year, I will be applying after writing a research paper. I've been coding and never worked on essays since I was a sophmore in college plus as you can see that I didn't study too hard for first two years. I am really honored to receive the perfect score on GRE but not being a great writer. Thank you and I hope to read some helpful replies.
