Hello!
Thank you for whoever takes the time to read this.
UNDERGRADUATE:
Top 15-20 Liberal Arts School. Considered a 'Hidden Ivy' (does this even matter? Is it more of an Ivy-or-not consideration?)
Major in Economics
GPA: 3.42
EXTRA-CURRICULARS:
Participating in iMentor program (going into 3rd year mentoring high school junior). Various other experiences regarding mentorship/children. Student Government in college.
WORK EXPERIENCE:
2 years in HR/Recruitment at an Education Non-Profit (2 promotions, 1 from intern - not sure if that counts)
2 years TFA (also enrolled in M.A.T. program - current GPA 3.8)
GMAT:
IR 7 (81%)
Q 47 (67%)
V 38 (85%)
690 (86%)
***I have taken the test only once, and studied for only one day. I imagine a re-take will yield higher results.
GRE:
V 165 (96%)
Q 162 (87%)
AW 4.5 (72%)
CAREER GOALS:
General Management in the world of K-12 education.
MY QUESTIONS:
* Obviously I am not a shoo-in at any of the Top 20, but do I have a chance at Wharton/Harvard/Tuck? Are there any of the Top 20 where I might be more of a 'Consider' as opposed to a 'Weak Consider'?
* I am currently going into my 2nd year of TFA. Would it be wise to apply right out of TFA, or should I plan on getting an interim position as a buffer? For those of you familiar with TFA, I am very interested in the MTLD role and am wondering what AdComs would think of it.
* Should I submit my scores for the GRE, GMAT, or both? GRE is a little higher, but I understand GMAT is more respected. Of course, my low quant/overall might put me out of contention.
* Can I confirm that it is acceptable to retake the test, and that it would be in my best interest to do so?
Thanks for any and all comments and advice!

Thanks for sharing your profile. very interesting background and I love that your career trajectory is well aligned and clearly makes sense. I would make sure you just make it clear that you need an MBA to reach your career goal, some may wonder if you remain in education you may end up in this future position anyways. That aside your GPA from a strong institution with a rigorous major should be good, don't worry about the designation, there are non-IVY schools with better reputations than the IVYs so don't get caught up in labels.
On the GMAT front if you achieved your score with only one day of study then you most certainly should take it again. Your score will most likely be on the lower end of your target programs particularly H/S/W and given your seemingly natural aptitude for the test you should aim to get a score comfortable in the range to solidly your competitiveness. Retaking the test seems like a no-brainer to me given this info
Hope this helps!
