IR 5 is fine, you don’t need to worry about it. Overall score is what matters the most. If IR was 1 or 2 it may have raised a flag.

I had the same question and did plenty of research. (I have a 770 with IR 5)

Congrats on the awesome score!

I wouldn't worry too much about the IR5. The only school which has a requirement for
IR scores is INSEAD, which requires you to have a IR 6 score. For the rest of the schools,
the IR score should not be a problem.

Also, from what I have heard a lot of times in the forum, that the GMAT score is just part
of the application package. The rest of the the application is just as important.So, without
wasting any more time, work on putting a strong application to the schools and all the best
for the application phase!

50 in verbal? Whoa!

Congrats on the score!

Any tips to go from a V40 to 45+?

Awesome score! I wouldn't sweat it for a second. I know many people with worse total scores and IR5s who were admitted to top 10 schools. That being said, the GMAT score is only one part of the equation, but with such a score, it will only help you. Best of luck :-)!
