Hi,
Thanks for writing here.
I would recommend you apply with the score (700) that you have as it will not be the only criterion to evaluate your profile. I would recommend you highlight your unique background and skills in your essays and interviews.
I would recommend not to stick to only a few schools, but keep your B and C plan ready if you A plan does not work (thought it depends on your plans to MBA, when and why)
Good luck
