以下是引用laobob在2003-12-19 17:06:00的发言: my GMAT and TOEFL writing are both 4, and I am planning to apply UNC.
My previous TOEFL listening is just 55, but the admission officer said it was ok if I could get a high GMAT AWA. As my AWA is just 4, i just re-took toefl and got higher listening part but low TWE.
My understanding is UNC will look at the writing and listening, but it is not the reason they DING us, you can see that they even see my 55 listening part is fine before although it is required at least 60.
I guess the reason the AWA might be part of the reason of rejecting that guy, but not the main reason.
Just write your essay and have a try.
totally agree. I once posted the feedback from Sherry(UNC), she said UNC looks TWE for writing ability and GMAT for analysis ability, while it wouldn't ding u only because your score is few points lower than its standard. Don't waste too much time on worrying about TWE or AWA, as u have no time to solve this problem now. Why not concentrate on the application? |
