GMAT 690 on Resume?

I'm in a MBA program and got some advice to include my GMAT on my resume, which is a 690. I've heard of GMAT being included if you hit it out of the park, and while 690 isn't horrifying, it's not the magic 700 either.

Do you guys have any thoughts? I've seen some online career advice pages saying include it even if its over 650 (???), but granted those were more general career advice pages and not IB focused.

I'd leave it off. especially if you're pursuing IB roles. GMAT score doesn't have anything to do with how good of an associate you'll be, but you never know if someone's going to count it against you (consciously or not).

If you're at a "top" school, then the brand will outshine the score, and including 690 isn't going to be additive. 

If you're at a lower ranked school, highlighting a 690 isn't helping anything. How you did relative to the school average makes no difference at all (and nobody is going to look up the average anyways).
