I assume you did your research to come up with those list of schools, since on the surface they do come across as a bit random.
In any case, you should be competitive for the tier of schools you listed (UCLA being the exception - it's going to be a huge stretch). It's a good number of schools and you should be able to get into at least some of them so long as your written applications are decent.
By all means if you can improve your GMAT by 40 points or so, retake it -- for the tier of schools you're targeting, it'll help.
As for financial aid, sure you can get loans for them.
