Hi Hanksa,
This is a tough one -- you're a bit senior for many of the one-year MBA programs, and while your GMAT is competitive with the class profile at Emory, among others, a low GPA might worry top business schools. I recommend leaving the issue of financial aid aside for now, and focus first on targeting schools where you have a strong chance in comparison with the incoming class profile: competitive GMAT, similar years of professional experience, etc. At 11 years of professional experience, many schools will wonder why you're not going for an EMBA or a part-time MBA, so you'll need to make a strong argument for the full-immersion program here.
This is a complex analysis, so I recommend that you take it 'off-line' and speak one on one with a professional consultant. Working with someone who is used to this kind of research can help you assess your chances of admission and develop a realistic short-list. Then, if you can get to the US to visit any of the schools on your short-list, preferably in October/early November while classes are in session, that would be a great asset to your case as well.
Good luck!
