　　Dear Sir:  

　　Will you please tell me whether your department(注：economics) has any special requirement of GRE Analytical Writing score to applicants?  

　　Thank you in advance.

　　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.
