Are you a domestic or international student?

Those scores are probably on the low side. I'm from a different field, but if I recognize the schools' names correctly then you are applying to some of the most prestigious IR programs in the US. If so, then I think you need to do both - work more on your other application materials and retake the GRE. I'm not saying you absolutely cannot get in with those scores, but they aren't helping you much either.

I second these recommendations.

It seems that your scores are low across the board and you might not even get past the cutoff phase.

I am the opposite. I suck at math. I got a 570 Q and a 610 V.

But, retake it....maybe take a course....it cant hurt!

As someone with an MA in IR from that tier of school (Chicago), I say yes, without a doubt, retake it. Is English not your first language? If so, then maybe your low verbal score will be excused...but then you'll want a much higher quantitative score to balance you out. You should be able to improve your scores on both sections considerably with some study.
