Hello, DrogbaUCL2012. Are you Ivoirian, by chance? (I remember those Drogba years. What a beast on the pitch.) In terms of your profile, you have a lot of things going for you: top-tier university for undergrad, first-generation student from an underrepresented demographic, some work experience, and a competitive GMAT™ score, particularly for said demographic. (Understand, I dislike viewing candidates through such a lens, but it is a fact that admissions committees do, so I feel compelled to base my assessment in part on such factors.) Do you need to retake the GMAT™? I think probably not. Not too long ago, I helped an African American student from an Ivy League university gain admittance to an M7 school, and his score was in the mid-600s. (He also suffered from test anxiety.) A score is no guarantee when an application is considered holistically, and this particular student was involved in the community and strong academically. Your extracurriculars and essays could add even more to your overall application package.
Keep in mind, retaking the GMAT™ does not necessarily mean you will earn a more desirable score, especially if your head is not in the right place. If you have already signed up for a retake, then it might not hurt to give it a go. You could always cancel, after all. But I would advise you not to treat that as a possibility. If you take the exam again, give it everything you have got, see how it turns out. Maybe the pendulum will swing more in your favor. According to your results above, there is at least a decent chance that on the right day, with the right questions, and perhaps with a little luck, you can walk away with a score that goes well into the 700s.
Whatever you decide, I wish you good fortune. Just keep putting your head down and working for what you want.

Hi DrogbaUCL2012,
First off, a 700/Q46 is an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is probably not necessary. You're ultimately asking Admissions questions though, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
