Perhaps a bit GMAT-poor for the caliber of schools you have picked. I traditionally see 750+ applicants getting in and I hope they will notice your profile among the flood of others. If your score does not really stand out, and you have a bit of time, one trick has been to take the GRE or EA so you are not judged as harshly and now potentially take the GMAT Focus. Otherwise, I think you are hitting all the right points - having a strong career is the best/greatest asset.

ESR can be a bit deceiving. You may get easy CR and easy SC but then a hard RC and that will sue your statistics and make it not really representative or helpful, pushing you into a wrong direction sometimes so trust your gut. Also, sometimes time pressure can get a better view on reading comprehension and have a subpar result.
