Advice urgently needed for engineering graduate school admission with the following scores:

[mfgj06]

Hello, I have presented my GRE general revised exam today and got the following scores: V161 Q164. Moreover, my GPA is about 3.6
I was wondering if I could get into more than average masters programs in chemical engineering with these scores.
Could anyone suggest some appropriate university to look into?
The deadlines are coming very soon and I have no idea what to aim for.

Your scores are around the average for accepted students to top 10 programs. I'd say you'd be competive at top teir schools and a good chance at slightly lower schools. Also your undergrad school might affect how your GPA is interpreted and how much weight is put  on the GRE.

Thanks! I wasn't expecting these scores to be considered more than average, especially since most of my colleagues got 165 or more on the quantitative part.

Anyways, supposing I'm going to apply to about 5 schools, do you think it would be a good idea to apply for 3 in the top 10 programs and 2 for lower-level schools in order to secure some alternatives? Would you suggest a different approach?

You should apply to 6 schools if you got good letters of recommendation / S.O.P (and are essentially a competitive applicant).  I would go for 3 top 10 and 2 top 50 and 1 safety.
