As far as I know, the schools you listed have GMAT averages in the high 600s, so if you're a middle-of-the-road engineer, you really should retake the GMAT if you want to be competitive for top 30 schools.

Well, I think we might be able to use a bit more info before evaluating your profile.
Do you have a managerial role?
Have you been promoted? How many times in the last five years?
What international experience do you have? What extra curriculars?
Any notable awards?
Leadership in other areas - religious, military, community?

All of these things can count for you to the schools you apply.
