Hello
schat103,
Thanks for writing in.
You have a below average GMAT score; however, a set of essays that adequately highlight your professional achievements as well as your need for the PGP (including what you wish to do after) can help turn things in your favour. The gap too will need to be explained in an appropriate manner.
In a nutshell, a slightly better GMAT score would have helped, overall; however, if it is not possible for you to go ahead with a retake, just spend your time focusing on creating as compelling an application as you can. Make sure you highlight your achievements, potential for leadership, and your intent to keep doing things even as you are on a career break.
The following video will help with the essays bit:
Thanks.
