Hi krtibdewal,
First off, a 640 is a good score (it's just shy of the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. You're ultimately asking Admissions questions though, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
ask-admission-consultants-124/
If you do end up choosing to retest, then it would help if you could provide a bit more information about your studies so far and your goals:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) What were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on this 640?
4) What is your goal score?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

You have some highly competitive schools in your list and you need to play your A-gmae to get through these. I would recommend you go request a profile evaluation in Ask Admissions Consultants forum.
Regarding the GMAT, I would recommend you to wait for a bit longer before you sit for the test. There only so much that you can do in 16 days to improve your preparation.
Try to drill down deep and identify your problems:
SC: The questions test various concepts such as S-V agreement, modifiers, parallelism etc. Find out what troubles you.
CR: There might be certain types of questions that are troubling you. May be Assumption, may be conclusion, inference etc.
You need to find that out and then practice them
RC: This again can be drilled down into different types of questions and also different topics. See what questions and topics trouble you the most and then practice accordingly.
Quants: Again try to break the questions in topics such as Algebra, Number system (very important), Geometry, PnC etc.
As an addition, start preparing an error log and keep a note of all the mistakes you made and the lessons you learnt from the problems. This will ensure you do not make the same mistake again.
Make sure you complete all of the OG and the Verbal review and if required, you can buy the Question pack1 from mba.com
