Quick response here: for admission to top MBA programs such as Tuck and Ross, you definitely need to retake the GMAT. If you were up around 690-700, it would be more of a gray area, but here you're so far below each school's average/median GMAT that you're asking admissions to take too big of a leap. Don't try to be an exception; instead, get that GMAT up around everyone else's, and then they can put that concern behind them and evaluate your application on its merits. It's a shame to let one (albeit annoying) test interfere with your goals, and it sounds like you're still relatively young for the MBA process; so take the time you need to get a competitive score.

Everything else here looks good -- the community service sounds a bit too "typical", so you might also pick one most important engagement and ramp that up to a major leadership role, spending much more time and effort on a regular basis to turn that into a supporting component in your application.

Invest in your future! The window of opportunity is small, and you want to give it your absolute best shot.

Good luck!
