Does the school look at your IR score? I'm scoring well on the other parts of the exam but poorly on IR.

I’ve been told that success in MBA programs is actually tied more closely to the IR score than the quant score, but take that with a grain of salt- again, it’s just one piece of the application. I know Wharton in particular definitely looks at IR.

No. Score out of 800 matters way more- that’s what Is used in rankings and is used by the school to measure academic ability. If the IR is terrible that’s not great but not as bad as having a lower overall score.

Could also reapply this fall and add Tuck and Kellogg to the mix but unsure if it’s worth the risk as this fall may be very competitive.
