I gave my GMAT exam today and got 660 ( Q47, V35). Last time I had got 580, so definitely this is a improvement but still missed the 700 mark. In my test I use to get 630/640 scores mostly, but I got the score finally which I had just crossed once in test. I am still waiting on my GMAT official scores but I hope I will be able to get decent scores on those sections also.

Pls let me know if I should go for another attempt and try for 700+. I am mostly looking for doing part time MBA in Georgia tech/Emory or Booth. I am a working guy in US with 8+ years of exp in IT industry.

I recommend you look at the class profile for the programs you're interested in. You should ideally want to fall within the 80% range for admitted students.

When are you planning to apply? That 660 score could be okay for Ga Tech/Emory's PT programs.
