I pulled out some information online on the GRE, and can confirm that your scores have a percentile around the 80th, which is good but not outstanding. Note that the faculty admission team are generally only interested in percentiles when they review applicants' test scores. While few schools explicitly specify cutoff scores, a good rule of thumb is to aim for the 90th percentile or above. If for any reason you are not quite up to dealing with the GRE, why not attempt at the GMAT?
I am not sure about the percentile of your scores on the language proficiency test, but it is probably below the 80th.
To reiterate, generally the importance of test scores becomes more prominent if one's undergraduate (and graduate in many cases) degree is from 'average' institutions.
