Analytical Writing Section
The analytical writing section consists of one writing task—analysis of an argument..
The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) section, consisting of one 30-minute essay, measures the test taker's ability to formulate an appropriate and constructive critique of a specific conclusion based on a specific line of thinking.
The AWA score is an average of the two independent ratings. Scores average from zero to six, in half-point intervals for each task.
Writing scores are computed separately from the scores for the multiple-choice sections of the test and have no effect on the Verbal, Quantitative, or Total scores.

Christopher Storer , Interim Executive Director of Graduate Programs and Admissions at George Washington University, explains how he uses the AWA section of the GMAT to evaluate a candidates writing proficiency.

Chineseburned 6.0 AWA GMAT Essay Template. Can confirm that following this template is probably the easiest way to a 6.0 AWA.

How I got a 6 on AWA by studying 5 minutes for it. Not trying to sound like a douche, I just want people to know this format works: I'm sure it has been posted here before, but it never hurts to resurface something of quality. The key is having an essay template in mind when you take the test. Then it's just a matter of filling in the blanks.

Awa would be perceived separately in the gre scale as per my understanding. As for ucla, they've posted it on their website that they strongly recommend GMAT instead of gre. I've used my gre score for R2 applications( including ucla) but didn't get calls so far ( a note - my gre was in the last year of validity as well.

Imo, the AWA is to just see if you can analyze and construct a sound argument, and write coherently under a time pressure. IR, if I recall correctly, was something the GMAC created to help show strength but it hasn't been tuned enough (ie, peeps who score top 20% for the GMAT score should also be in the top 20% or so for IR...but aren't. And vice versa).

Sounds sketchy. I was admitted to HBS and Kellogg in R1 with a March 2021 online GMAT with no AWA. If I remember correctly most of the schools had the option to select Online/No AWA when self-reporting scores and for the one school that didn't (GSB) I inputed a 0 in the AWA score field and added a note in my optional essay….
