Ok, so I sat for the GMAT last saturday, 8/15/09, and was feeling very positive and relaxed. I took the Manahattan GMAT course and had an intensive study plan for 4 months that I followed. I took a total of 10 practice CATs and scores ranged from 630-690.

My previous two attempts I scored 550 on each. So a 660 is a drastic improvement. I was aiming for 680 to get into a top 20 school. Should I retake it a 4th time or is that overkill which will look bad when I apply?

I have other things going for me, I have good work experience and academic history and I passed the CFA Level 1 exam (currently studying for Level 2).

Is it worth to retake it a fourth time or will this just look bad to the admissions board?
