Scored a 710, but need some advice from the pros

All,

Bit of a long post, so please bear with me. Been reading these boards for a while now, and they are super informative and helpful.

I just finished sitting for my first GMAT. I have a pretty technical background and was scoring anywhere from a 710 to a 740 on GMAT Prep tests with higher scores on the quant side (which was what I had expected). Studied off and on for the week leading up to the exam, but I felt pretty confident given what I'd seen in all the practice tests.

Got to the exam, felt like I did well on the AWA. Started the quant, and about halfway through I convinced myself that I was moving too slow. Rushed myself through the middle 15 or so questions, and ended up finishing with 10 minutes left. At that point I knew I was in trouble.

Destroyed the Verbal in about 45 minutes. It was a piece of cake, even compared to the practice tests I'd been doing.

I got my score and I was disappointed (thought not surprised) to see a Q44 / V44. I completely bombed the quant. Was scoring in the 48-49 range with consistency on all my practice exams.

My question is this - if I am targeting only top 5-7 schools, should I consider retaking to up my quant score? I would have been fine with a 710 if the scores had been a little more balanced, and I truly don't feel that the Q44 represents my abilities. My job is extremely quant focused (financial services analyst), and I have an undergrad Finance degree with a high GPA. Does the rest of my profile "make up" for my low Q score? I have heard of the 80/80 rule, and would hate to think my app gets trashed before a review because of the low Q score.

I have to wait a month to retake anyways (if that is what I decide to do). Could work on the essays for the next few weeks and brush up on the quant a week before a retake. Would the "official" scores even be available to schools in time for R2 deadlines? What would you do in my position?

Would appreciate any suggestions!
