Hi Ralph,
The answer is... maybe. Top business schools will be attracted to many aspects of your profile: your GPA, your global perspective and brand-name work experience. They might overlook your unspectacular Q & V scores, but then again, they might not: it depends on the competition, and that leaves you vulnerable. At first glance, your profile is probably strong enough (I'd have a lot of questions about leadership and international exposure), but I'm sure that GMAT is below your abilities.
The MBA is such an important transition point in your life -- why apply with anything less than your absolute best? My advice would be to retake the GMAT, apply with something closer to the median for the schools you're targeting (~720 for the US schools, ~700 for the UK schools), and free up the adcom to look more at you, not at your numbers.

Good luck!

Hi Margaret, thank you very much for your response.

I am considering to retake the GMAT. However, it might be too late for R1 (Columbia's early decision deadline is on 3 October 2018). Do you think I should wait for R2 instead?

Thank you
