A couple comments: - If you are in North America, then you AWA essays are scored together with other native speakers', and there is a high chance to get low AWA scores. If you are taking the GMAT in China, then you have better chance of score higher. - Request regarding -- it's very unlikely you will get a score lower than 3.5 - Do not retake GMAT. 780 is certainly a respectable score, and you may not be able to get that high a score if you retake G. - Focus on writing application essays (if you decide to apply). Good essays go a long way to assuage AdCom's concern of low AWA. |
