Dear Abhinav,

Unfortunately, I cannot say with certainty what you should do as I do not have enough information. Decisions are made on more than numbers. If you feel you will have a strong, overall application package, then it is probably worthwhile to submit with your 680 and see what happens. However, if you feel your experience has not been that good, your essays are not strong, and/or your recommendations might not be outstanding, then a higher GMAT score might be necessary for you to be competitive. Assess your total application and determine if it is strong in its totality; then you can decide whether or not to submit with your current score or wait to retake.

Good luck,
Lisa
