What was your impact through these projects/ initiatives?
I'd still go with my earlier advice of applying to mid range programs. Maybe have a mix- apply to one of your high target programs and include other more achievable choices.

The b-schools aren't considering the IR yet, but I guess a score of 1-2 is going to get the eyebrows raised.

I get your point. Thank you very much!

One impact that I took pride in was that I convinced the client's team to halt a new product introduction in one of the neighboring country, where the market was not yet ready, potentially saving the client millions of dollar.

I will have my eyes look into more reachable school alongside those extreme reach schools i listed. In the mean time, I will see if I can retake the GMAT and possibly get higher score to improve my candidacy and to overcome my weakness in IR.
