I have a decent overall score however, a low score in IR (3 out of 8). I plan to pursue my MBA starting 2022. While I have ample amount of time, I want to be done with GMAT soon and focus on other projects. My focus for admission is mainly in the Singapore region (NUS/NTU/SMU).
Would this score suffice or should I take another attempt at the GMAT? Can the IR score be a deal breaker, especially for these three colleges? Anyone who has applied to NUS/NTU or has some experience in this area, do reach out!
Please feel free to suggest any other B Schools within Asia/Pacific region (preferably Singapore).
