Hey there - thanks for the post and happy new year! The short answer to your question is...what do you have to lose by retaking the test? You have plenty of time, you're doing well on your mocks, and you have a little time before you really gear up for those CFA Level 2s. So, why not? A 680 is a good score but if you want to make a top 10 run with a 3.2 from a state school (even as a hispanic), a higher GMAT might not only get you in, but land you a bit of moolah too!

Bhavik,
Thank you so much for you response and Happy New Year to you as well!
Regarding retaking the exam, I am confident that I CAN score above a 720 but my nerves devastate me on test day. It's probably why I got a 680. All psychological, I know, but I'm THAT guy.
Something that would calm me down substantially would be to know if the admissions committees really only care about your highest GMAT. IF I drop down to a 660 would it have been better just to have used the single 680 score?
