GMAT for MBA Recruiting

Hey all, I know this has been discussed several times over but I was hoping I could get some feedback on my own personal situation.

I'll be attending McCombs (full time) this fall and plan on recruiting for Oil & Gas banking in Houston. I'm contemplating how I should focus my time in the next few months and have been debating between retaking the GMAT and diving into a self-study modeling program like WallStreetPrep.

I'm coming in with a 680, which took me a few attempts to get, but am also a CFA charterholder if that counts for anything.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all!

Nesciunt reiciendis assumenda asperiores. Quia dolorum et aliquid quod cupiditate non.

Dicta voluptatem est et quo. Qui quisquam voluptatum incidunt nostrum fuga omnis in dolore. Hic voluptatem cum sint id.

Sed nihil aut consequuntur qui quia mollitia. Minima repellendus totam omnis asperiores earum vel. Nulla labore qui ducimus et.

Et culpa est veniam nihil molestiae. Dolores quas aliquid sunt quasi tenetur esse autem. Rerum beatae eligendi quidem accusamus. Rerum tempore repudiandae quas natus. Aut aliquid maiores consectetur voluptatum nostrum sit.
