Thanks for sharing your profile. I would get a recc from your previous supervisor and one of your clients. With regards to your health issues, no real loophole but it seems your health issues may have factored into your low GPA which may be worth mentioning in your essays, optional or otherwise.
Now to your competitiveness for your target schools. You have listed what many consider the three top schools in the world. So they are really tough to get into even for candidates with perfect profiles. You come from a really competitive demographic and have a low GPA so even if you hit your GMAT target these schools will be tough. I would start out by tackling the GMAT then re-evaluate if these schools still make sense, most likely you will have to consider other programs as well and maybe pick one from the above grouping as your reach school
