Should I retake--710(Q 51,V 33) AWA 4?

[ashes_phoenix]

Hi,
As you can see my verbal and AWA scores are pretty low. I do sincerely believe my verbal skills are much better than what the scores reflect. Regarding my score I have a few queries:
How will my low verbal and AWA Scores impact my applications to the some of the top 10-25 US b-schools?
Can I offset this by good TOFEL score or good interview (as my communication skills are strong)?
If I take GMAT again and get more or less similar score but with a higher Verbal Score-How would the schools view this?
Will my high Quant score give me any distinct advantage?

My background:
Indian Male, Mechanical Engineer
Work Ex: 3.5 Years working for a large IT Company as Design Engineer in Engineering Services Department (Mechanical design). My job involves designing components of Turbo-Machine.
International Work Ex- I worked 6 months in Switzerland at client site.
I recently got promoted as well.
I have been involved in CSR activities and event management within my company.

What do make of my profile and would you advise me to take GMAT again?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ashes_phoenix,

My personal opinion is you have good score, If you feel you can balance the less verbal score with good essay,recommendation,good interview performance, you can go ahead with your current score.

Thanks,

Dear Ashes_phoenix,

Thanks for your note. I agree with Kalyan - a 710 is a very good GMAT score. Assuming that you have strong college grades, I think that you can go ahead and just apply with this score and demonstrate your communication skills in other areas of your profile.

Sincerely,
