I recently gave my Gmat and scored 720 (Q50 V37 IR6 AWA6). IS this score good enough or should i retake the GMAT to improve my IR score. I plan to start my MBA in fall 2014.

Thanks,
Amit.

Congratulations Amit!

It's a great score! I am not an expert, but what I know, any score after 700 is really gud. You can go ahead to apply in top B schools with this score.

Hi Amit,

A 720/Q50 is a fantastic score, so you are DONE with the GMAT. Most Business Schools have openly stated that the IR score is not a factor in the admissions process (since no one can seem to figure out how that specific score can be used to evaluate an applicant). With the IR average score hovering around a 4.5, you're above average in that respect as well. So, you can now consider your GMAT journey complete.
