740 with lower than expected Q & IR

Hi KarimAbdo,

First off, a 740/Q48 is an outstanding Score, so you will be able to comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. Many Business Schools have publicly stated that they do not use an applicant's IR score when evaluating an application (and it's worth noting that an IR5 is not a 'low' Score for this section), so you likely have nothing to be concerned about here. However, if you're interested in what a specific School/Program thinks about the IR score, then you should research that School directly (you might also consider contacting the School to ask). This is all meant to say that a retest is probably not necessary.

If you are planning to apply to some highly-competitive Schools in the future, then you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement (and the more time that you have to act on that advice, the better). There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
