LSE Msc Finance Attach GMAT scores or not?

Hi. I am applying for Msc Finance at LSE and I am wondering if in my position it is a good idea to show my gmat scores. I study in UK so GMAT is optional for me at LSE but I took it for other programmes and scored 740 Q48 V44. Overall it is a great score but LSE says on its website:

"However competitive applicants will be looking for total scores of high 600s or more, with a quantitative section score of 85% or more."

My Q48 corresponds to just 71%. Do you guys think I should send my scores with the application or better not? Thanks for help!

By the way what's your second Programme choice?

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
 

Thanks for the advice, I have sent the application with GMAT.

I am also applying to HEC Paris MSc in International Finance and Oxford Msc Financial Economics. If I get more than one offer I will probably seek more of your help with deciding which one to choose :) I did my undergrad in London so France would be a nice change...
