For me 700 is enough.
I definitely agree with the claim that there is a cut-off line for each school. I think adcom having two absolutely equal candidates with scores 740 and 660 would probably admit first guy, just to keep its average GMAT score higher than 700+
But if a candidate has an extraordinary background and experience with a score slightly above 630 Adcom would probably consider that candidate and would rather compensate this score with a student's score of 770, than to admit two guys who scored 710 and 690 with an ordinary "nothing special" experience, I think Adcoms look for diversity.
just my 50 cents.

What've you got to lose? A few dozen hours of studying, scheduled out over 2-3 weeks?
Out of everything we have to present to B-Schools—our GPA, work experience, essays—the GMATs are the only thing that are quantifiable. You can argue whether a 3.5 GPA in Physics is better or worse than a 3.6 in History, or whether 4 years in an investment firm is better/worse than 4 years in a research institute, but you can't really argue which is better, a 720 or a 680. That's originally what the GMAT was created for.

I would not agree I am studying for more than 8 months, I am not a native speaker so it is definitely hard for me to score more than 35 on verbal.
For me 8 months do not equal to few dozen of hours.
