Hey guys,
I have scored 720 and wondering if I should take the test again for better score.
I understand that +700 is generally considered to be enough, but as Korean male, probably somewhat oversaturated candidate pool, I am not sure if my score is enough to break into top schools. Since studying GMAT is time consuming activity, I want to ask your opinions on the issue.
FYI
- It was my first GMAT test
- I usually score between 720-760 on official prep, Q51 w/ V36~40
- worked in consulting industry for 2y, financial advisory 1y, and currently unemployed (doing investments) + mandatory military service 2y
- Fair GPA from one of the top business schools in Korea
- Targeting top schools in States as well as in UK
Sorry for the naive question but will definitely appreciate for your valuable responses.

Hello hgm2080
Stating that you want to go to top schools in US is still a little bit vague, since we can disagree what we consider top schools, is it top 5, top 10, top 20 etc. and there is difference between them anyway in terms of GMAT score, sometime significant from your stand point.
In general highest average GMAT score is at Stanford and Harvard that is around 730, that being said, people get in all the time with lower score.
Schools like Berkeley, UCLA, Columbia, Stern etc. have average score around 715.
For best UK school you don't have to worry at all, highest average is around 700, for instance at LBS.
Furthermore, in US there are some really great schools that have average score around 700 or even below, such as Cornell, Duke, McCombs, CMU Tepper etc. , that I would certainly consider top.
I am not sure how and if people with Korean background are over represented in applicant pool, that is something that is known as potential threat only for Indian students, you may investigate that further, but as far I know, you are not in danger.
The rest of your profile education/experience is fine.
The way I see it, you don't need to retake it.
Good Luck with application !

Thanks for your reply.
Actually I was referring to US top 5 schools so thought that I was falling bit short to average.
Anyway as I counsel with my seniors from various MBAs, I perceive that spending time on essays and other materials should be way efficient than on gmat for 20~30 additional points.
Again, thank you for your opinion
