GMAT 730 Q49 V40

Figure out where you wish to apply

Hi all,

I just gave my GMAT yesterday and scored a decent 730.

IR-3 - 23rd Percentile.
Q-49 - 81st Percentile.
V-40 - 90th Percentile.
Overall-730 - 96th Percentile.

Yes, exactly, the pain point is 3 in IR. Graphs and DI have never been a problem. In fact the low score was very surprising and annoying. I cannot recollect to have scored as low as 3 in any of the mocks that I gave.

Anyway, the main reason why I am posting this is because I want to know the impact of IR score on my application. I am planing to apply in 2016/2017 after a good 2-3 years of experience.
The schools that I am looking at are:
ISB, INSEAD, NUS, IE, IESE, Columbia, HAAS, Duke, NTU, Tepper, Booth, Darden, Tuck.

Just to fill in the experts with a brief description of my profile,
I have an okayish profile with a good number of extra curricular activities and leadership accolades, including an international exchange program. However, I have a very poor gpa from my undergrad college. I'm currently working in EMC as an Associate consultant, working primarily on Big Data Analytics.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi nikhil.jones.s,

Since you're focused on Admissions questions, you might find it useful to post your questions in that Forum (on this site); the experts there should be able to provide you some pointed information on the schools that you listed.

The short answer though is that your IR score is not likely to factor into your evaluation (since most Business Schools have openly admitted that IR is not a factor). With a 730/Q49, you have numbers that would make every Business School happy. You must remember though that the application process is 6 or 7 pieces (sometimes there's an interview, sometimes not) and your overall application has to be strong for you to be admitted to a Top school. You have the GMAT portion of the application "covered", so now you put your energy into the other parts of the application.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
