Your don't fit Emory, and Mays is a highly competitive school. because of its low fees it gets a huge number of applicants.
Take a look towards the bottom of Tier 4 on this post:

I tend to agree with Duncan. You are vying for spots with many other applicants with very similar profiles to you, and who have higher GMAT scores. Any chance you could re-take it, and get your score up to 700ish?
Otherwise, you'd have to aim a bit lower. Are you looking solely at US schools? If so, maybe look into the following MBA programs:
Temple - Fox
University of Miami
Georgia - Terry
SMU - Cox
Syracuse
