I just received my scores from the GRE. Q: 91st percentile V: 87th percentile Analytical Writing: score 3.5 (35th percentile)
My undergraduate GPA was 3.943. In addition, my GPA was 4.0 in a rigorous 1 year certificate program in a healthcare field. I am currently employed in healthcare and have fulfilled my anesthesia shadowing requirement.
Will this analytical writing score cut me from consideration despite my otherwise favorable stats? I am aware I could retake the GRE and hope for a better score, but I am looking for thoughts on my current situation.
Just updating this for anyone with a similar question in the future. Based on my acceptance, it does not seem that a low writing score will eliminate an otherwise strong candidate's chance of getting into an AA program.
