GMAT 680 Q50 V31

just took the gmat and got a 680 (Q50 (93%), V31 (56%)....wondering if i should take the test again. im a senior at an ivy league school majoring in engineering (gpa 3.4). joining a BB s&t desk abroad (outside us) next year. dont know much about mba admissions, wondering what my chances are to get into a top 5/10/15 b-school in a couple years. should i try to crack that magic 700 number?

The reason there are so many IBD guys getting MBAs is because it is required for career advancement while s&t focuses on your ability and does not care about a stupid piece of paper. Other people who are career changers, will get an MBA so that they can get into s&t.

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
 

Seriously, you go to an Ivy and the best you can do on verbal is 31? Please tell me that you aren't a native speaker.
