Retaking 740 GMAT with a 2.4.

Hello, I do apologize if this is a tone deaf post but I am a law student who will be graduating in 2017. I'll be 23 when I graduate and I am thinking about business school as an option a few years after graduation. I went to law school for close to free so I have under 20k of debt.

I had a 2.4 in undergrad in social sciences from an unimpressive university. I currently go to a Top 25 law school with good grades and will be working at a biglaw firm after graduation. I took the GMAT this Summer and scored a 740. My question is whether a higher GMAT, 770+, will have any value in a business school application with relation to my undergraduate GPA.

MBA wise I'd want to look at something that I could rebrand with in Chicago so probably looking primarily at a mix of Michigan/Chicago/Northwestern/Stanford/Wharton/Harvard.
