Dear all,
I am currently taking the GMAT Exam in preparation for future MBA applications. I am planning to apply to all M7 schools and some of the T10+ schools.
I took the GMAT twice and scored a 720 (Q49 V38 IR8 AWA6) and a 750 (Q48 V44 IR 3 AWA6). I know that IR is not as important as the overall score but 3 is really low especially compared to the 8 in the first attempt. I took both exams online, so my question is whether it makes sense to submit the 720 score instead of the 750 because of such a low IR or maybe submit both scores (if that is actually possible for online Tests? I am not sure about this, so feedback on this is also highly appreciated
). I think it might make sense to submit both given I improved from 720 to 750 and the difference in the IR scores.
Maybe its usefull to post my exact profile for better answers: Overall my academic grades are fine (GPA 4.0 and A-levels also 4.0). I will bring about 3 years of experience in an MBB consulting firm and around 1 year of experience trough internships (did 6 internships, 2 of them at T2 firms and one at an MBB firm and 3 in start ups). I will apply as a EU-Citizen. I think I have a good overall shot but I am worried about the IR score because its quite a contrast to the rest. What are your thoughts on this?
I would appreciate any feedbaack!

Wherever you can report only one score, report 750.
1. Every school that gets your GMAT score, gets ALL the uncancelled scores in the last 5 years. So, please realise that WHATEVER you report, the schools will get to see both.
2. Schools consider your best score.
3. While IR 3 does look like really low, GMAT 750 is really high; but the GMAT 750 by itself, is much more attractive than the IR3 a set off.
Hope that helps

Hey Bala, thank you for the fast reply! I actually did not know that the schools get to see all scores. I thought for the online test they will just see the score you selected to send to them? If thats the case tough I might actually not retake the test a 3rd time because I want to avoid scoring lower than 750.
But your overall advise would be to report the 750 and just hope for the best? As far as I understood it they sadly wont look at the IR8 from the 720 score, right?
