Hi,
I recently gave the GMAT exam, and scored a 720, with IR - 2(12%) and AWA 5.0.
I have 2 years exp in the healthcare industry.
I am planning to apply to the Paul Merage School of Business, NUS (Singapore) and Nanyang Tech (Singapore) for admission in the 2014-2016 batch.
Will the low IR be detrimental to my application to the schools mentioned above? Should I retake the GMAT?
Regards,
dr.ngog
720, with low IR.

Although this is still a new part of the GMAT, your integrated reasoning score is well below average. I would think that this would be a red flag for admissions committees - at the very least they would probably ask you about it (that is, if the rest of your profile, work experience, etc. makes you interesting for them.)
A lot of the time you can email the schools and ask them directly whether they would still consider you.
ps. Why so low? Maybe you just had an off-day?

It's good that you're targeting schools where your GMAT score is higher than the average of accepted students. My guess is that since the curriculum at the Singapore-based schools leans more towards the quant they won't have that much of an issue with it, especially since your score is higher than average. No guarantees though.

I panicked when I realized I was running out of time. :(
I've just emailed all the schools I will be applying to. Hope to hear from them soon.
Thank you both for your replies!
