Hi all,
I recently took the GMAT for the second time and received a 750 (AWA 6, IR 6, Q49, V45). While I'm sort of bummed, as most of the Q49/V45 splits got 760's, I definitely can't complain with my score. I took the exam for the first time last month and scored a 700 (AWA 6, IR 8, Q46, V40).
Anyways, I had a few questions in light of my academic profile below.
GMAT: 750 (AWA 6, IR 6, Q49, V45)
GPA: 3.94 from a top-tier public university (UCLA/UVA/UMich) in Economics
Work Experience: 2 years bulge bracket investment bank and almost 2 years at a notable middle-market private equity firm
Extras: Some volunteer work, largely in pro-bono consulting and professional mentorship
Target Schools: M7/Tuck/Darden exclusively
Career Interests: Returning to the private equity space, maybe exploring funds overseas
Demographics: White male, no hooks
- How bad is my IR Score (6) for such caliber of schools? I come from a relatively privileged background, so I'm worried that any irregularity might crush my application.
- For supplemental essay responses, should I explain my IR score as being unrepresentative of my overall application?
- Is Q49 good enough for top finance programs (Wharton/Booth for example)? It sits at 79th percentile currently, but could those schools look exclusively for 50+?
- If anything is glaring, how can I best improve my profile over the next few months before the application cycle?
Thank you so much for the help! I sincerely appreciate your honest feedback.

Hi there,
Congrats on a great score! Q49 is fine. Even though you didn't score in the 80th percentile, you're close enough for it to be okay. Since your field is IB/P,E which is fairly analytical, no one will wonder about your number skills. Everything about your app so far is on target. Don't worry about IR - no one uses it. Don't talk about it in optional essay. You should expect to get multiple invites from M7 as long as you write compelling essays and manage to get strong recommendations. Feel free to browse our website for tips for both of these processes (https://aringo.com/mba-essay-tips/) (https://aringo.com/mba-recommendations-process/)
Good luck and good job!

Hi aspiringmba2015,
First of all congrats for such a good GMAT Score. You have an impressive profile. Your academics, work experience, extracurricular and GMAT score are really good. You can apply to B-Schools like Dartmouth Tuck, Darden, Kellogg, Chicago Booth and Columbia. Your IR Score is fine, don't worry about. I would not recommend you to mention about your IR Score in your essays, it would infact grab adcoms attention. I would strongly suggest you to start working on your essays and recommendation soon and choose your recommenders wisely. You may also seek some professional help for writing your essays and recommendations.
You may also gauge your chances of getting admission to top business school by trying this amazing tool https://bit.ly/1C9o2Md
Hope this helps.
