Paul, I have gotten mixed messages from people I have shared this story with. I am applying this cycle, but am preparing to improve/re-apply if I get dinged from the programs that seem to fit. Is this a crazy strategy?

Ethnicity: African-American
GPA: 2.4 (Top Ivy)

Einstein06,
Applying now with what you've got makes sense to me. You are 29 so there's no time to waste. You seem to have a good explanation for your GPA, and a good turnaround story. With your profile, your GMAT is fine for all the schools you mentioned -- you should be competitive at all of them. I would actually even encourage you to add a few top 10 schools to the mix. Your ethnicity is a big asset for you and you have several positives to highlight.
Good luck,
