Chelsey Weaver Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Several schools I have researched don't even include a minimal score for the analytical portion of the GRE or even mention it. I recently took the GRE, did decent on the verbal and quantitative portions, but feel like I bombed the analytical writing portion. How important is the analytical writing score? What should be the minimum? Like I said, lots of schools I am applying to don't include it in their admissions requirements, just the QR and V. It still has to count for something though, right? Is there a baseline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MedLib42 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Most of the schools I applied to asked for all scores to be 50% or higher across the board (verbal, quant, and writing), which I believe would be at least a 4.0, and I hear that's fairly common. However, I've heard some schools do place the most emphasis on verbal and quantitative, so if you got less than a 4.0, I wouldn't worry yet - I'd recommend contacting the schools you're applying to and specifically asking if they have a minimum writing score requirement, and if they place as much weight on writing as other sections.
