Hi helysr ,

Congrats on the amazing score!!!

I think you should not go ahead with another exam. Check with your targeted school whether IR scores matter or not, then make a decision.

Regards,
Rajat

Thanks all for the advice, really appreciate it! I got in touch with adcoms of Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton to check the pulse on the importance of IR. It seems like Harvard and Stanford weight the IR highly, and Wharton does not. Will have to give some thought to this.

Hi helysr,

If you have not yet reached out to any Admissions Experts with your questions/concerns, then I suggest that you do so. When you talk to any of those Experts, you should specifically ask "how many of their Clients did not get into a particular Program because their respective IR Scores were too low?"
