it appears that the only relative weakness you have, for the schools you are applying, is your GPA. I am assuming that is why you are considering retaking your GMAT. You are aiming for the best, and applying to lots of schools. I think you should try to narrow that list down a little (5 in total perhaps) in order to really focus and put your best applications in, and consider adding a safety school, just in case. Of course, don't add in a school you would not attend, nor a school that can't get you to your goals. cheers, alex
