I got a 640 the first time, and a 690 the second. It was well worth taking it twice.

But if you insist....
Thing is, if you look at schools where 650 is around the median, a lot of your school choices will have mainly regional or niche strengths. Not knowing your background though, you could/should target schools with a high 600s average, but maybe 700+ is out of reach. Rather than asking, about just any schools that would be an option,I'd suggest:

- pick a target geographic region
- consider your professional goals and look for schools with strengths in that field
- visit/compare schools how you like that and talk to alums about reputation/ect

Additionally, the overall strength of your application matters the most: gmat/gpa, major, work experience, diversity, blah blah blah... But recognize that if you're below the mean, schools are taking a hit with their metrics to accept you so you'd better be awesome.

hey..i gave the gmat again and got a score of 690 :-D ....m applyin to NUS and NTU..do these unni require toefl??
