How important is the essay score?

Hi. For some reason, I feel that my Achilles' Heel is the analytical writing section. I am aspiring to get admission to an MS program of perhaps one of the top 25 US universities. How important would my AWA score be if I am able to get 1450+ in the GRE?

dsaqwert 's dreams are becoming reality.
i'm not an expert on this subject, but i'm sure that importance of the awa section highly depends on the program you apply. i believe that an awa grade of 4 should be enough for an engineering program, however if you apply for a social science program, it should be at least 5 i guess.

I really don't see how any engineering science-related advisor can base anything on the argue an issue section. It's completely wide open with no correct answer. I thought we stopped bullshitting in high school.
