Stuck at 650,need 700+ (Help/opinions needed)

Dear all,

I am a Jordanian citizen aspiring for a top MBA course (INSEAD, LBS, HARVARD, WHARTON, COLUMBIA, BERKELY etc)

I have prepared thoroughly for almost four months now and I am extremely frustrated and disheartened from my performance. Here is my story:

I have studied the MANHATTAN guides from cover to cover for 2.5 months, studied the GMAT official guide and did approximately 1700 quant questions/1500 Verbal. I also sat the GMATPREP examinations available for free and scored 720 and 710. I sat the exam in August and scored 600 (Cancelled the score as I did not think its truly reflective of my capabilities).

I did not give up and got private tutoring through Kaplan in Dubai to hone my exam taking strategies- After completing 20 hours with KAPLAN tutors, I did three KAPLAN CATS and scored 730, 720, 720. (averaging 49 quant, 39 Verbal) I sat the exam once more and scored 650 48Q 31V).

Once more, I did not give up. I returned to KAPLAN and paid an extra amount of money to have full access to their online portal and access to 9 CATS. I studied their entire program for a month along with GMAC official Quant guide, GMAC official Verbal guide and the results of my KAPLAN CATs are as follows: 690, 710, 720, 730, 720, 720, 720, 720, 720. A week before the official exam I bought the extra GMATprep exam package and sat two exams scoring 730, 740. before you ask, yes, the CATs are all being taken under exam conditions. I sat the exam again today, for the third time, and scored 580 44 Q 26 V !!!!!! I obviously cancelled the score once more

My gmat report currently states: CANCELLED, 650, CANCELLED

I feel like I have completely exhausted my options and I don't know how to tackle this anymore. I am completely and utterly frustrated with my situation because I feel this exam is the only thing coming between me and my dream school and career aspirations. My questions to you are as follows: How do you think I should progress from here, what are the chances of landing a top MBA with a mediocre gmat of 650 and the following credentials... is it worth taking the exam again and risk cancelling my scores for the fourth time if I fail to acquire the target score? Does it hinder my chances having 3 cancelled scores on my gmat report when applying. I am completely gobsmacked by the results, especially that I have consistently scored over 700 in my mocks.... Please advise

Brief Background about myself

27 year old, Jordanian, Male

Education:

1. University of Nottingham Engineering foundation: Class rank 1st

2. University of Bristol UK, Civil Engineering low: 2.1 (equivalent of 3.2 due to personal matters that lead to depression at the time), University can confirm this if requested. Please note, that my Math modules were always considerably high.

Career:

Started a tier 6 construction company at the age of 23 and lead it to tier 3 within 3.5 years of operation (40 employees) (position: CEO, Head of Business development and Strategy) - company took a turn for the worse when investors started pulling their investments due to the volatile political nature of the region. As a result of this, I have analysed my credentials and I decided to take on an MBA in order to switch careers into Management Consulting.
