With your profile (solid, middle-of-the-road) and goals, these are the range of schools you should be targeting:

Stretch (choose 1-2): INSEAD, LBS, Booth, Columbia, Kellogg, Sloan, Tuck, Haas

Sweet spot (choose 3-4): Ross, Darden, Duke, NYU, UCLA, Cornell, Yale

Safety (choose 0-1): schools outside the top 16; Oxford and Cambridge are sort of in between sweet spots and safeties for you

Alex, thank you for the response! Do you think it is critical to retake GMAT to be accepted to the B-schoolds from the stretch-list?

If you are reasonably confident that you can boost the score by 20+ points, then it's worth retaking it.
