Quick Question!
I have a borderline GMAT score (690). I want to take it again! Now I have a question! What happens if my new scores are lower than the existing scores?
Which score does the school consider? Also, will a lower 2nd score have any -ve impact on my overall application?
Perpectives, thoughts, suggestion, recommendations and insights all appreciated!

I understand your frustration. 690 its just under the magic number (i.e.700). On the other hand, you should step back for minute and realize that a 690 is f%9kin awesome score!!! Don't read into any of the myths that a top five school won't accept anything beneath a 700. What people seem to lose sight of far to often is that there is a lot more to the application process than the GMAT. If your essays are strong, and you have a somewhat unique background and are able to communicate that in your applications process, then IMO you are a very strong candidate for the top 5 with your current score.
From what I have consistently heard, schools only consider your highest score. So retaking should definitely not be detrimental to your application. However, I would seriously consider whether it is worthwhile spending the time re-taking with a 690. You might be better off focusing your efforts on other aspects of the application. Good luck.

Yeah, I wouldn't retake a 690 unless it's really unbalanced or your GPA is subpar. Otherwise it's very competitive.
