I took the GMAT on Saturday and my unofficial score was 740 (97th percentile). My breakdown was Verbal 45 (99%) and Quantitative 47 (73%). I am happy about the overall score but a little uneasy about the large disparity between my Verbal and Quant. Is this still enough to get me into the very top programs? I have a fairly quantitative background as I was a Finance major (4.0 overall GPA from University of Georgia) and I have been in investment banking for the past 5 years as an analyst and now an associate at a middle market investment bank. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You can consider retaking. Some schools on your list will be prickly about 80% level in the quant. If HBS and Wharton are your targets, then definitely dive back into the prep.
