Hello everyone 
First & foremost I would like to thank everybody on this forum. In my opinion gmatclub is the best forum for GMAT prep and is second to none.
Currently, I am in a dilemma. Almost 9 months ago I took my first GMAT attempt and scored a 700 (Q48 V38). At that time I was quite disappointed as it was not a 700+ score and on my GMAT prep tests I was constantly scoring in range of 740-760.
Fast forward to today and I am on crossroads. I have just finished my B.E with a CGPA of 3.8 and got a nice job. But, my joining is in October. I have 2 months in hand that I can use according to my will. Now, I want to ask you guys, should I use these 2 months to prepare for GMAT again ?.
I am planning to apply to Top-10 B-schools in US in next 3 years. Will 700 be not enough to crack them??

Hi,
Congrats on your new job!! let me come straight to the point, if you looking just at the top 10 schools in the US, we would suggest you to retake the GMAT. As you know the competition in this space is too high and a 740+ GMAT score with effective application essays will definitely help you get through. Also work towards your extracurriculars and your career, so that you have enough points to portray in your profile. You may analyze your chances of B-Schools with your current GMAT score here: https://goo.gl/RZg44t
Hope this helps.

700 is good enough to apply to top schools. Their average score is 710-720 so you are right about there. If you were going to apply this year, the post would have ended here with an added advice - work hard on your apps now.
But you are going to apply 3 yrs down the line. Plus, you have 2 months free and clear. Why wouldn't you want to work toward making every aspect of your application above average/outstanding? Use this time wisely. Take the test again but only after you see reasonable improvement. Get a 750+ and then forget about GMAT.
