Hey,
Congrats its not a good score its a great score!
My Gpa is around 2.9ish, for most of the canadian B schools they look at last 2 yrs of gpa (and in that case I m 3.5 or higher, first 2 yrs is bad due to a bad car accident), and my background is Fine Arts, same 7+ yrs work exp, etc, I was told by the admission counselor at Schulich to take some accounting/calculus courses just to show that I can handle Q courses at univ level. I should have done something about it, this was 2 yrs back! (couldn't come up with either time or $$)
May be the schools you have mentioned, you can contact the admission counselors and ask them, best ppl to get the advice from really, that lady I met with was also the one who sits on Shulich's Admission committee, So it was kinda reassuring that I have some hope after all!
If you really don't have a solid reason to explain the downward gpa trend then really building an alternative transcript is the best option.
keep us posted, all the best for future,
Cheers.

The best way to mitigate a low GPA is to build up an alternative transcript. Having said that, I think it'll be worthwhile for you to take a couple of business classes (and get A's) to show that you can handle the classwork. One good thing is that you've been out of college for a while now, so GPA will not be as big an issue as someone who's fresh out of college. Your GMAT will definitely make up a portion of the slack.
