Yes, a 730 is enough for a top 5 school. However, the GMAT isn't everything. You need a very strong profile: GPA, GMAT, work experience, extracurriculars, and essays.

Short answer: Heck yes it's good enough! :)

Congrats on the great score! I agree with dmateer that it would be a better use of your time to focus on your app now.

All the best!

A very loaded question! Are you talking about admission to a Top 5 Business school or a Top 5 Program in Finance? If the former, then your score is awesome.
