Hey dude,
Well the first and main thing that comes to mind when I read through your profile esp. about your GPA is: WHY? What happened? What are the reasons? Were there any extenuating circumstances?

Because I feel like the rest of your profile is quite nice, and actually you should have a good shot at the schools you mentioned, but with such an academic record the schools are going to want to know, and justifiably so, what happened.

So in your application, it will important for you to weave a convincing narrative that a) gives good reasons for your fails and low GPA b) shows you are capable of academic success through other ways (getting a720 on your GMAT could be one of those ways).

Other than that you are in a good industry and have fantastic volunteer work. So things look pretty good!

I hope this helps dude!
Best,
Jon
