Hi IRBlues,

You've listed some highly competitive Schools, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

I am having a difficult time trying to decide which score to use for my applications. I took GMAT about a month ago and scored 730 (Q48 V42 IR4). I was very dismayed by the poor IR score. So, I retook the test today and got 710 (Q47 V40 IR 6). Where my quant and verbal scores have dipped a bit, the IR score increased by 2 points. Hence the dilemma- should I keep the higher 730 with the lower IR or go with 710? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Once you have accepted the score, you cannot cancel it. So the schools will see both your scores - which I think is to your advantage. Now, just focus on your essays.
