Hi
prefshares,
First and foremost, congratulations on a wow score!
Your IR score of 4 is unlikely to endanger your application.
B-schools do not consider your AWA and IR scores separately but rather as part of your overall GMAT results. And your 770 should be able to compensate for the 4. However, in interviews, you might have to justify your low score.
The next thing you can do is connect to your target schools and ask how they interpret IR scores. You can also question them directly if your low IR score, considering your high GMAT score, raises a red flag and what you can do about it.
All the best!
If you have any concerns with your application, we are happy to hop on a call with you to discuss your profile in length and your further chances to b-school. Feel free to
book a free session with us as per your convenience.
Let’s maximize your chances in Round 1 for fall intakeCheers!

For reference, I had a 4.0 undergraduate GPA from the University of Georgia. I majored in Finance and Accounting. Went to do bulge bracket Investment Banking, and am now at a large hedge fund.
Target schools = Stanford and Harvard.
Will my low IR score be a red flag? Th two test takers beside me started on their essay sections right as I was starting IR, and it was difficult to focus with their keyboards clicking. Should I consider retaking in order to bring my IR up?
