Hi there!
Good luck with your GMAT coming up soon! I hope you reach your target score. I think you're a competitive applicant for a part-time program as they tend to skew a bit higher in average years of experience, so 6 years will likely put you write around the median, if not slightly below which is just fine. A 650 GMAT would be great and would put you above the median for all the schools you list. And I think that's really important for you given the low undergrad GPA. That is definitely going to be a weak point but it's further in your past, you've got a great post-grad GPA, and you can write a brief Optional Essay explaining the circumstances you were dealing with while in school.
Your work experience seems quite strong and I like the exposure to a startup too. When it comes time to write your essays, think about being more specific on your career goals (e.g., Architecture or Management, what kind of company - startup or big firm, etc.). You want these goals to be ambitious but also realistic.
So overall I think you'll be a competitive applicant for the programs you list...I'd probably rank them in the order you listed them from most to least competitive based on each school's stats.
Good luck and keep us posted if we can help!
