That should be fine. The GMAT is very rarely the most important component of your application- in fact, it is probably one of the least important, being used to see only whether you would be academically able to handle the curriculum. There are also other ways to do this (eg. your college major + GPA + school) so the GMAT's importance is eroded further by this.
In addition, unless you do ridiculously poorly on the AWA, it is generally not important at all.
another concern, i got 99% of quant but just 80% of verbal, together with the 4.5 awa, i was kind of worried that the adcom might turn me down if they think my english is not good enough. thanks!
At least at Wharton, getting 80% for both quant and verbal is fine. That being said, there are other ways to gauge your English ability- TOEFL, your essays, the interview, and so on. So I wouldn't worry about this.

Thanks Jason! I found it and share with those who don't know the link:
Since there is no minimum TOEFL score, they will certainly read your essay. However, with that score, they will have significant concerns about your English ability. In addition, that GPA score might make them question your intellectual capability, although your GMAT is not low so they may suspect that you're 'smart but lazy'. Your Math/Verbal breakdown like for the GMAT can also give them further clues as to your English ability, as will the quality of your essays.
When you apply is solely up to you. Most important is to have a strong application ready. If the extra 3 months between round 1 and round 2 allows you to write better essays, do better on the TOEFL and turn in a stronger app, then apply in R2. There is no benefit applying in R1, aside that you'll know the result earlier.
