Retake?

by horizonx29 » Fri Mar 07, 2008 8:32 am
710 (93%)
Math- 49 (89%)
Verbal- 37 (82%)
AWA- 5.5

Should I retake? I'm aiming for a top 10 school so my score is about at the median at those places. I feel like I could do much better a 2nd time around.

In the GMATprep tests, I was getting 760+ consistently so my verbal score here was a bit disappointing.

Maybe my time is better spent improving my essays, extracurricular activities?
