Hi Amit,
I strongly recommend you take the GMAT test. The reason is because, let's consider Chicago Booth for example, which has a similar GMAT score to the programs you are looking at. The average GMAT score there is 720, with an 80% score range of 660-760. This means that if you applied, your score would be in the bottom 10th percentile. This doesn't mean that you would not be accepted, but it is not a preferable position to be in.
Admissions teams will focus on your highest score, so I highly recommend considering re-taking the test.
Hope this was of help.
Cheers,
Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
