So I came into the GMAT feeling pretty well prepared, but knowing that my strengths tend to be on the Verbal section. So I had spent most of my study prep on quant, and some SC for good measure, and was relatively happy with my overall score of 720. But the breakdown (46Q, 44V, 6AWA) was a little disappointing.
The math is 76th percentile, and I'm thinking of retaking to try and get that up but am not sure if that's going to be the best use of my time as I try to get three or four apps in by Round 1.
My profile is:
Dem: white male, 26
School/GPA: Top 10 liberal arts school, Econ Major, 3.5 GPA overall
Job: Director of 9-person team and financial consulting firm
EC: minimal
At best I think I could get the quant to a 49, but I'd be spending a few weekends on this as opposed to apps. My work experience is what's going to really make me stand out I believe, I've got 3 years of direct management skills under my belt at this point. I know there's no clear answer on the retake question, but I'm new to these forums and just wanted to know your guys' thoughts.
Any comments are much appreciated, thanks.

TheDude83, to get 49 on real test would be really difficult for you without additional studying. Given the fact that you want to apply early, IMO that wouldn't be a wise use of the remaining time. 720 is definitely an OK score for any top school.
