Thanks for sharing your profile, there are a few red flags in your profile and adjoining tips, see below:
Age
-20 is very young for an MBA candidate at most schools and in particular the schools you are applying to, none of the schools have any candidates under the age
-Not sure if this is a typo or not, but I would really focus on your "Why MBA" and "Why Now" responses because that will be at the top of the question lists for admissions. These can be addressed as well via your career goals
GPA
-As you know your GPA is very low, some schools will take into account your medical history and upward trajectory but this area will still be seen as a negative
-This area is tough to improve on at this stage in the process, outside of taking additional coursework I would focus on your explanation for the poor performance while highlighting your upward trajectory
GMAT
-Your GMAT is on the lower end of the range and lower than the avg scores at Tuck but on par at the other listed schools and even high at Seattle
-I would recommend re-taking the GMAT to improve your odds particularly at Tuck (good luck on your interview)
Hope this helps!
