GMAT of 740 enough for 2020 MBA App?

I just got a 740 in my GMAT (Q50, V40). I was wondering if this would be enough for an MBA application in 3 years time for the top US institutions (Harvard, Sloan, Wharton, Stanford etc.), especially considering grade inflation. Definitely know I could improve verbal a bit (had a headache in exam) but unsure whether the marginal cost/effort is worth it

Other context - going to join one of the top 2nd tier consultancies (just below
