Thank you experts for the encouraging words, I feel a bit confident of my score now.

@EconomistRich: Thanks, I will contact the admission teams and clarify their stance on the subject.

@EmpowerRich: I plan on applying to ISB, NUS, Ross, Mccombs and Rotman as of now.

I once again thank both of you and will make a decision soon.

Hello Naren,

The importance of the IR score remains a mystery. Some say that it is incorporated into the decision after the main score has been considered, some say that programs place weight on it while others don't at all. For peace of mind I would ask around at those particular programs to which you are applying. I don't believe that you can use your previous IR score separately. But I also don't believe you need to. You scored well in the core section and that seems to be what the majority of schools care about for now.

Congratulations!
