去信内容： [b][b]Dear Sir: [b][b]Will you please tell me whether your department（注：economics） has any [b]special requirement of [url=http://www.gter.net/news/content.jsp?type=GRE]GRE[/url] Analytical Writing score to applicants? [b][b]Thank you in advance. [b] [b]回信内容： [b][b]1. At this time we do not have enough data on the new Analytical Writing [b]Score section of the test to inform you of a required minimum score. At [b]this time, however, I would say that a score below 3.5 would cause concern [b]in the Admission committee that perhaps the applicants writing fluency is [b]not advanced enough to assist them in their Ph.D. studies. However, the [b][url=http://www.gter.net/news/content.jsp?type=TOEFL]TOEFL[/url] is what we most closely examine when determing an applicant's English [b]proficiency. A score below 220 on the TOEFL will not be accepted by the [b]Economics Department. [b][b]Thanks. [b][b]XXXX [b]Department of Economics [b]Duke University [b][b]2. Not that I am aware of. [b][b]XXXX [b]Coordinator of Graduate Studies [b]University of Rochester [b]Department of Economics [b][b][b]3. We do not. The only cutoff we had this year was that the quantitative [b]aptitude score be at least 730. [b][b]XXXX [b]Yale [b][b]4. We do not pay much attention to the GRE Analytical Writing section part [b]of the GRE. [b][b]I hope this answers your question! [b][b]Sincerely, [b][b]XXXX [b]econ.umn.edu [b][b]5. No we do not. Since the analytical writing portion of the GRE is so new, [b]we have no measure of whether the score will be an indicator for success in [b]our program. However, we do review the score in the sense of the English [b]language writing skills of the applicants.
