Aman Gupta Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Hi folks, Here is my GRE performance: Quant : 169 Verbal : 164 AW : 4.0 I think my quant and verbal scores are fine, but I am really worried about AW. I am from India, and want to apply to MS in CS at really top universities. I have a 8.9/10 (out of 10 scale) GPA and work at a top global software company. The thing is that I am willing to quit my job only if I get a really good admit, maybe a top 10 admit. Will my AW score hurt my chances? Thanks in advance.

baktrax Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I doubt it. Your writing score wouldn't be very relevant to your field, and I doubt that score would keep you out if you have an otherwise competitive application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAW Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I wouldn't worry. You have great scores otherwise, and 4.0 is still a pretty impressive score. I know grad students in the top philosophy programs who got 4.0 AWs. The writing section is new and not nearly as good an indicator of your ability as a writing sample or personal statement.
