GMAT Info
I took the GMAT on Monday and scored a 690. I've heard some mixed reviews and I'm not really sure if I should take it again mostly because I'm not sure if I can even raise my score by 30 pts or so. Anyway, here's a bit of info about my background.
I worked at an investment bank in nyc and now I do corporate development for a large internet company. I have a total of 4 yrs work experience. As for my grades, I have a 3.6 gpa from a top 50 university and a graduate degree in accounting from a top 20 school.
I'm really just looking for some advice on whether I really need to sit through this test again to have a fighting chance at a top 10 school. What is the real difference b/w a 690 and a 700? Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

aspiringmonkey, how would you know this? Are you magically now a b-school admissions person?
yes I am now an expert in that too :P
Well actaully I would say I'm 25% informed right now in that...but give it timeDisclaimer: The post above has been made by someone who is not currently employed in IBD, and has not had an interview yet...
690 is not too bad... that was my score, and I've done pretty well, but you have to make sure you have everything else down solid (story, essays, interviews) The difference between 690 and 700 is perception... I was asked at several BB interviews for my gmat score and could tell they weren't too impressed, but having said that I got a couple offers so its definitely not the end of the world.
thanks for everyone's thoughts. I'm actually not that interested in going back into banking (my time as an analyst was more than enough for me to handle). I'm just more interested in my prospects of an mba at a good school. From the sounds of your post, I'm better off focusing the rest of my time on my applications. That's good to know.
These top 10 schools are so uber competitive, why leave any room for debate on account of just 10 pts? I'd re-take it. At least I think it's worth it. You're so close!!
690 is fine - I know folks that got into HBS with less than that
Does anyone know the minimum GMAT composite scores one should shoot for after two-years as an analyst at a BB to get into Tuck? Thanks.
I would say 700+ gmat score for Tuck (or any other good B-School).
