I think Cornell and (possible) UT might be a stretch. Other schools should be in your range.

In regards to retaking the GMAT, you can list up to 5 schools when you take the test and your scores will be sent to them. However, it would also be a good idea to let the Admissions Comm know you have updated scores on the way.

Hi -
I am not too familiar with those schools, but from your profile, you should be competitive for those programs.
