In my opinion, you should retake. Especially when you are over 28, having a GMAT score that is at or above the median for your target schools is essential when applying to top MBA programs. You can also support your application by using your resume to highlight the leadership in your professional roles.
Good luck!

Ma'am
Thank you very much for your reply.
i have some supplementary questions. i would be grateful if you could answer them
1) is being above 28 years a disadvantage
2)with a score of 680 would it be pragmatic to pitch for the colleges i have mentioned
3)Ma'am i might not necessarily increase my score if i give a retest as i hardly get any time to prepare. Can my work ex in a government bank which has given me exposure to both corporate banking as well as an opportunity to work at the grass root level among the poorest of the poor where I am actively working towards the goal of financial inclusion by virtue ob being the branch head of a rural branch,in any way compensate for my score.
4) if the answer to the above question is negative, then please guide me as to which colleges would be suitable for me
Regards

Yes, this is starting to move from material that would benefit the group in a public board to a conversation that would be best done through a one-on-one consultation, such as those offered by our company, Stacy Blackman Consulting. Feel free to reach out through our website (https://stacyblackman.com/contact) and you will get much more targetted assistance.
Good luck!
