1. at this time we do not have enough data on the new analytical writing score
section of the test to inform you of a required minimum score. at this time, however, i would say that a score below 3.5 would cause concern in the admission committee that perhaps the applicants writing fluency is not advanced enough to assist them in their ph.d. studies. however, the toefl is what we most closely examine when determing an applicant's english proficiency. a score below 220 on the toefl will not be accepted by the economics department.
thanks.

i hope this answers your question!

5. no we do not. since the analytical writing portion of the gre is so new, we have no measure of whether the score will be an indicator for success in our program. however, we do review the score in the sense of the english language writing skills of the applicants.
