Hi there,
Wow, what a story. How fortunate that your mentor took a chance on you!
Your profile is of course non-traditional, since most applicants finish their undergraduate and then have 3-5 years of full-time work experience. So, gauging your chances is more difficult. Your story is going to be an important part, so they can see the hardships you've overcome.
It depends a bit on your quant/verbal breakdown but a 320+ GRE is pretty strong, though if you have time, I would retake to see if you can score even higher. Important to maximize that since you have a low GPA. Business schools do consider both GPA and GRE as part of your academic profile.
I worry most about your chances at Tuck, but it's also a school where they're known for wanting to get to know you and your personal story, so you could still give it a shot, but I think it will be tough. The others on your list seem more reasonable. Have you considered applying to part-time programs too? That is another option if you want to continue working.
Best of luck to you!
Kate

Thank you so much Kate, this is truly helpful! I had 170 in quant and 154 in verbal, and I will retake the exam by November and hopefully to improve my verbal score to 160. Initially, I was considering full-time MBA since I wished to finish education as soon as possible. But after months of researches online, I will most definitely give a shot to part-time or online MBA to certain schools (particularly Kelley, they have a top ranking online program). Again, thank you so much for the reply, and I am really appreciated for your help.
