Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your profile with us. You have the right idea by giving the GMAT another shot. Ideally, a 720+ is where you want to be for your target schools - especially for Ross, Judge, and Fuqua. How old are you if you don't my asking? Your work experience suggests you're a bit on the younger side of the typical MBA candidate, and if this is the case, many AdComms will want to gauge your maturity level and leadership capacity. Based on what you've shared, I don't see a lot of leadership examples, but if you have them, this is where you'll want to focus your applications. You may want to consider waiting another year or so before applying if you are younger than 24.
Your involvement is pretty light. If EWB was done only as an UG, you'll need to think about your other activities since then. If you don't have any, I'd recommend getting involved in something where you're passionate about making an impact. You don't just want to be a member of a club, you want to lead an organization and have key accomplishments in that role. Your interest in soccer is nice - do you play in a league? Are you a captain of a team? Why would the AdComm be interested in your experience here? At this stage, the schools you've targeted are more on the stretch side, but addressing the key questions above will help them move in the right direction.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to get back to us with the answers to the above questions. Also, feel free to check out our free resources to get you started. Best of luck!

Thanks for the evaluation! Currently waiting for my order for Manhattan SC Prep to come, it took them a while to deliver. I didn't use this before and would like to use it now to improve my verbal especially SC.
I am turning 24 later this year, you are correct that I am a bit on the low side in terms of experience, hence why I plan on applying later this year (3.5 yrs exp upon entry) or next year. I haven't lead an organisation as such, but my current role is a board member role within a state organisation. I will try to add more valuable experiences into my profile. As for soccer, no I am not the captain but in the running for it this year.
Cheers.
