Aman Gupta Posted August 13, 2013 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. Edited August 13, 2013 by Aman Gupta
baktrax Posted August 14, 2013 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.
BAW Posted August 17, 2013 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.
