我觉得不用吧。用Option Essay干点更重要的更有亮点的事情。再说了，G没上700，或许在别人开来不是个撒事儿。

同意楼上。不同自己再emphasize短处吧

那optional essay 写一些什么好呢？
我已经提了我大学里面有非常好的成绩，其他你建议写一些什么呢？

optional essay 是用來解釋weakness 不是用來寫字自己的亮點

也没有吧。。。我的理解是optional essay是用啦写任何可以增强自己candidacy的东西的。如果结束短处可以更好的增强，那就解释短处；反之如果再提1、2个亮出是之前essay确实没机会cover的，那就提自己的亮出。只是说很多时候通过之前几篇essay，AO已经足以看到你这个人的大面了

You don't need to explain your sub 700 GMAT score, especially since you have good grades in college.

I agree with dock13333. The optional essay should ONLY be used to address 1) significant weakness in your application or 2) significant strength that somehow isn't in your essays already.

You need to look at it from the AdCom's perspective. They read thousands of essays, the last thing they need is to read an essay that does not add significant value to your candidacy. A poorly used optional essay will make them question your judgement If everyone wrote an optional essay, it would create much more work on them.

Hey there. Good question. You don't need to write an essay about your GMAT unless it’s really really low (we are talking about 10th percentile or lower). If you have a 670, or even 650 I wouldn’t write a whole essay about it. Plus, really, what can you write? All they will think is that “maybe you should have done better”. So instead of that, don't worry a bout your GMAT. Your score is your score. And now beat all those OTHER essays!
