Hey dude!
So first of all regarding the GMAT:
Can you get higher? If you can, then yes, consider a retake. It also depends on how HARD it will take you to get there, but essentially, you want to apply to B-school with YOUR maximum score. Now for some people this will be 500, for others, this will be 800. Know thyself
Here's an article on the matter written by one of our consultants:
https://admissionado.com/mba/the-tuesday ... n=mba_blogAs for the evaluation and your school list, Fuqua and Kellogg will be extreme stretches for you, and I would suggest not applying there. If you apply with your current score, a more realistic school list fro the US would be schools ranked 20-50 (approximately)
And if you are in the UK, you have plenty of options too IC, Cass, Warwick etc. which also have the advantage of being one year programs.
I hope this helps!
And if you have any questions do not hesitate,
Best,
Jon
