Hi,
I just took the GMAT and scored a 670 (V:34, Q:48) which was a little lower than expected after scoring 700 (V:40, Q:46) and 720 (V:39, Q:49) in the Official Prep Tests. Especially, I feel like I can do better in verbal than I did on the actual exam.
Now I am wondering whether I should retake the GMAT or not. My goal is to get it into the MSc. of Finance programs at LSE, LBS, Oxford, and the likes. My GPA is 3.8 and also my practical experience should rather strengthen the application. Do you think the GPA and the practical experience can compensate for the somewhat below-average GMAT score or are the chances without a 700+ GMAT score too small? With that said, diversity is not likely to add value to my application.
Thank you for your comments/suggestions.

The thing is that, if you apply and don't get accepted, you'll always be wondering whether retaking the GMAT would have gotten you better results.
Given that you have broken the 700 level on official practice tests, probably your move is to prepare a bit more and then retake.
You could strengthen some less strong areas of quant and work on verbal more to lock in a 700+ score and be confident that your score is appropriate for what you are seeking to achieve.

As you are pretty close to 700, it should be good to retake the test, so it boosts up your chances. If you contact some admission consultant working with the universities mentioned above, you can have some helpful insights.
