680 to 700 GMAT, does that help? Reeval Por Favor

Hi folks, I asked for some guidance a month or so ago and the consensus takeaway was I needed to improve my GMAT to be a solid contender to any top 10 school or rather, to have confidence of being accepted to at least 1 top 10 school I needed to raise my GMAT.
So, I did just that but in a weird way. I went from 680 to 700, but did so by suffering a harsh drop in my quantitative score and sharp spike in my verbal (45-verbal, 41- quant). Needless to say, I'm the happiest, angriest 700 score receiver. My quant scores were usually 47, 48, 49 and I pull a 41? Anyway, I digress and with that being said, could you please evaluate my profile again with the new higher GMAT, keeping in mind lower quant? Should I take it again (my 4th time), hoping I can do something respectable on quant and keep the verbal up, resulting in a score potentially much greater than 700? Here's my profile:
-Went to a Top 5 public university - Majored in Business Administration with a Major GPA off 3.6
-Minored in Mandarin Chinese, which was tough, which pulled my overall GPA down to 3.3.
-Did I-Banking as an analyst in NYC at one off the usual suspects
-Recruited from the bank to a small start-up building the business from pre-revenue into to $10mm+ (SAAS business)
-700GMAT 680GMAT (took it three times)
-Strong Community Work & Co-founded an active charity in the community, have a broad impact
-Will have a total of 5.5YR WE
