Investment banking interviews - Low GMAT score

I have a low gmat score. I completed my MBA from a non target school. I noticed that some IB firms asks for GMAT score while filling online applications. Is it worth to retake GMAT and boost my score in the 90th percentile? OR Once MBA done, GMAT score should not be so important. Any insights welcome!
