If you have the time to devote to it and you believe that you left points on the exam, then take it again. If you don't think you can improve it to a 730 or higher, I would really think about it hard. A 30 point improvement to 700 may make you think you've hit the magical 700, but I don't think there really is a magical number. If you do worse, not a big deal. Most schools take the highest score, and depending on how much studying/prep you did for the 670, you'll almost certainly increase your score the second time. If you did a ton of studying, it's possible that upper 600s is where you'll be, but I personally don't think someone has a "plateau" of their score. I think if you studied for 6 months and got a 670, I think you could study for more time and get a higher score, but that may be an opinion no one else shares.

So the general consensus is not to re-take the GMAT? are my chances much better if I break the 700 mark? What happens if I do worst?
From a schooling perspective, I'm not looking to apply for Fall of 2009. 2010 sounds more realistic.
Cmon guys, be honest. I want to be realistic, and prefer not to waste $ on application fees if the results are not good. Bashing welcomed! (and encouraged!)
