I think your stats look great, except for the GRE, which you said you would retake.

Good luck!

Get that GRE to at LEAST 1000 (obviously the higher the better). Other than that, if you practice for your interviews, you should be great.

If applying "today," then the obvious weak point would be the GRE score. A lot of schools will not even consider an applicant unless they score above 1000 on the GRE. Once you raise your GRE score to an appropriate level (i.e. 1000 or better), I believe that you'll have no problems at least being awarded an interview.

Good Luck!
