Hi, so I just took the GMAT this morning and got a 660 (81%). I took the test last year and got a 640, 5.5 AWA. Would it be worth retaking if I plan on applying to NYU or Fordham part-time? I've been consistently scoring above 700 over the past month, with a high quant score of 51. I guess I just freaked on the actual exam.

I'm a 25 yr old Hispanic female (first in family to go to college) working as an executive assistant/business administrator for a major investment bank in NYC for the last year. 3.0 undergrad GPA (double major in Econ/Italian studies) from a top 30 liberal arts school. I would be able to get great recommendations from my boss and potentially an alumnus at either school.

Any advice or input would be really helpful. Thanks!
