Unless you are wanting to apply r2 this year, i would recommend retaking the test and aiming for a higher score ( around 697 for DUKE for example) ..The average GMAT score for each program you are interested in is what you should be aiming for (as a minimum). Sometimes reading into the RANGE can be misleading as a lot of the people who get in to big schools with below average scores (for that institution) have a stellar background (UG, Leadership, Essay, story , Recomendations etc etc)..So aim for the average in order to be competitive..
Here is a list of Average scores for some of the top programs :

Hi colossal,
As vomhorizon pointed out, your GMAT is below par and a better score can make you more competitive. You can apply to the schools mentioned by you but Duke may be tough unless you have great career progression.

The strong areas in your profile are good and diverse work experience with decent extra curricular; try to make it stronger by adding minimum 650+ GMAT score, as most of your target b-school's average GMAT score is 650-720.
I would also suggest you to prepare for GMAT parallel with your applications, as you still have fair chances in applying for top b-schools.Visit https://www.general-ed.com/chances-of-bschool to gauge your chances.
