I absolutely think that based on what I see in your profile, you will be a competitive applicant for many of the schools you've listed above. I think that it's important that you work to distinguish yourself from peer applicants who may have a similar background and experience. In terms of whether or not you need to retake your GMAT, I would want to know if you have done GMAT prep and how many times you've already taken it, if you've taken it more than once. Your score is about average for the top schools, but if you really wanted to include more competitive programs on your school list, AND, you felt that you could get a much higher score, then it might be worth it. However, a 700 is a very solid score, so I wouldn't focus too much on this one facet of your background.

In terms of other schools you might want to consider:

UNC (Kenan Flagler)
Duke (Fuqua)
INSEAD
UC Berkely (Haas)
