Hi bobdemerrit,
If you believe you can improve your GMAT score by 30+ points, then I recommend you take the GMAT test again. Remember that your highest score is self-reported on your application, and admissions teams will focus on your best score.
Just as important though, remember that admissions teams are looking to cultivate future leaders, so any leadership and management experience you can discuss will be important. Here is a relevant case study of an engineer who was accepted into Columbia, Tuck, and MIT:
