Should I try to get a higher GMAT for HaaS Part-time MBA?

Hi folks, I plan to apply for HaaS WEMBA program next year and below is my background. Please let me know if I should try to get a higher GMAT score....I'd say it was painful, but this mba program is the only 1 I'd like to apply, if the GMAT will be an issue, think I will still need to improve it. 

YoE: 6.5 yr (2 yr audit, 4.5 yr Big 4 TAS M&A Manager, currently just joined a tier 3 Internet firm's Corp Dev M&A team as an Associate - one level below Manager.)

GMAT: 690

GPA: undergraduate major in finance and accounting 3.7, Master Ross business school master of accounting, no GPA (school uses good, excellent, etc.)

Certificates: CPA, CFA

Letter of recommendations: current supervisor is HaaS full-time MBA graduate, he's willing to provide one. The other one will be from a former supervisor who did undergraduate in Berkley.
