Re: Should I really take the GMAT again? [#permalink]
It sounds like you are too pressed on time right now. You are better off giving a shot at retaking the exam (though a 660 isn't horrible) unless you have some other aspect to your application profile that makes you stand out (like international experience abroad, business ventures you've done yourself, a unique professional business network, etc). A better GMAT Score in a situation where your profile can't stand out is usually the best option.

If you do retake, I'd recommend taking 1-2 weeks off from work where you can cram during that time period and not have work distractions. ADD is going to be a problem if you have to multi-task between work and studying.

Re: Should I really take the GMAT again? [#permalink]
Yea I know my gmat is pretty weak and I do have a lot to stand out on. My career was focused on working with domestic partners in estate taxation and retirement planning, ans I had to do a lot of that research myself which should help me stand out. I also studied under one of the best financial advisors in the country and have a letter of rec from.him and my top client, who owns a corporate law firm that works for silicon valley. The gmat is definately the weakest point and I'm not worried about standing out at all.

Thanks for the advice though, I'm going to take it and see then that's it. If I try and take it again I won't have time to work on essays and such which is also very important.
