You are targeting the right set of b-schools with this career goals.
I would definitely ask you to address the low GPA through the optional essay. Talk about the specific reasons why the GPA is low and what you did while you were at college to make up for it.
Also, address the need for an MBA given that you are already a product manager.
Reach out if you need help with your applications.
