Although, All the schools that I am applying to accept GRE(Rotman, Smith, DeGroote, Schulich and Richard Ivey

335 is a pretty solid score. I don't think that there's any need to take the GMAT! Your excellent score on the GRE is enough to convey the admissions committee about your academic skills. So, you already have a nice "check" on the GMAT/GRE column.

I'd say concentrate on putting up a great application now.

Exactly. 335 is a great one.
Don't waste time / money on GMAT anymore - specifically when your target schools are accepting GRE.

Hi tpapa29 ,
335 is an excellent score and is almost around the top 1 percentile. Since all the schools you plan to apply accept the GRE , you should go ahead and concentrate on the apps .

That's an amazing GRE score. For business school application purposes, you'd have no incentive to write the GMAT.

But! What do you want to do post-MBA? There are career tracks and great companies out there that take a serious look at GMAT, and unfortunately that means you may not be competitive without a GMAT score.

Still though, I'd worry about the application first, then if need arises, do the GMAT (hopefully you won't need to).

Thanks everyone for the suggestion. Like you all said , I will focus on my essay and worry about the application first, then if need arises, do the GMAT.
