Really? All the adcoms I talked with said that they're gre/gmat agnostic. Is it actually true that they don't hand out higher scholarships to students who gave gre? Should I give gmat then?

The GRE is pretty solid and given that you come from an underrepresented pool, you can aim for other top schools that do a good job in consulting such as Ross, Darden and potentially even Kellogg. NYU also has a strong affinity for candidates with lower work exp so may have that and Cornell on the radar as well.

These all seem like safety/scholarship schools…

I am not sure if schools will be giving as many scholarships for GRE but your score is up there. Worth checking with programs such as UNC and maybe Fuqua or Tepper and maybe a leg up too.
