With your score you would have to be insane to retake.
I decided that 740 probably was not competitive enough for someone belonging to a highly competitive category (asian, male, finance).
Best of luck to the both of us.

Just want to confirm: did anyone receive any confirmation after uploading the video?

I can preview my video after clicking "Edit Portfolio". I think it means the video has been well received?

Don't think there is a confirmation per se but as long as you can preview it in the portfolio you should be good.

You can always email Kristen Bautz to check.

I was paranoid and did this and she confirmed receipt, but honestly if you can view it in the Edit Portfolio section, they should be able to as well.

I'm incredibly nervous! 3 weeks until my 4th booth call day of pins and needles :/
