Thanks for the post. What is the common thread between those schools -- seems like an interesting mix of schools.

You are right that your GMAT is going to be one of your weaknesses. As far as your verbal score, I would suggest a strong application, specifically your essays to demonstrate your strong written communication skills as well as a convincing interview. It's been my experience that verbal is the toughest portion to change in a short time frame, but you can also look to take a course if you haven't already. You should definitely re-take before applying so you can adjust school expectations accordingly. Feel free to email me directly if you want to chat further.

Best of luck with studying and I hope that helps.
