Hi krtibdewal,
First off, a 670/Q47 is also a strong score (with this score, you're now a bit above the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

1) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
