I recently took my GMAT (last week) and scored 710 (95%) M:50/96% V:36/81%.
Most people are saying that i should not take it over.
However, from a few of your replies to other random posts at this site, I get the feeling that you might disagree and urge me to retake it. I do feel that I could improve by about 30 pts if I had a good test session.
Also, even though avgs are around 700-720 for the top schools, I come from a finance background. Ive read that finance people should strive for a higher than avg GMAT since the finance applicants generally have higher GMATS. (The avg is lowered by non-finance types who tend to be weaker in Math.) Thus a non-finance applicant can be satisfied with an avg GMAT or even a hair below avg but certainly not a person from a quantitiave field.
I got the feeling that you acutally alrady have your MBA from UCLA, so I was wondering if oyu had any insight regarding my concerns. (I could be wrong on the UCLA MBA though.)
By the way, thanks for your posts and esp your problems that you put up. They are quite helpful. That goes for a lot of other people too, like Stolyar, bb, brstorewala, curley05 etc)

If you feel like you can do better, then by all means take it over. Also, if you are applying to a top-tier school, then you might want to take it again. There is not much of a downside to taking it again except time and expense. Be careful not to fall into the trap of not taking it seriously the 2nd time -- be just as focused.
OTOH, if you feel lucky to get a 710 and that is high for your target school, then start counting down the days til you can tell your boss "Aloha!"
Good luck!
