Your GPA is a big ask, way below average for those schools, and outside the range. Likely a better explanation is that you werent focused on academics. You need to show you have matured since and accomplished great things at work and outside (based on what you say this sounds likely).
Taking the mgmt classes definitely helped. Econ, stats, calculus are good classes to take in general to prepare for MBA.
Definitely retake the GMAT.
Not sure where you are based exactly, but you might also consider PT UCLA and Haas - of course, has to make sense with your career goals.
Don't exclude yourself by not applying.
