Hi MCW6489,
For the top executive MPA programs, it is important to have strong professional experience (8 years and above mostly) and demonstrated leadership capabilities. Your number of years of experience in the Army, combined with international experience, multiple promotions, project leader experience, experience managing a team of 95 etc. showcase your potential for executive leadership.
Your GRE score isn't great, so it would help to try and improve that to offset the low undergrad GPA. A GRE/GMAT score is not mandatory but a good score could help in your case. Your Masters performance seems good, so that is another positive aspect that can offset the low undergrad GPA. You can provide a convincing reason for the low undergrad GPA in your optional space as well
To improve your chances, you need to highlight unique aspects of your Army experience and what you can add to the cohort because of it. Use your experience to show that you are someone capable of navigating rigorous environments. You can then show the adcom that the undergrad GPA is not a true representation of your capabilities.
You may also want to leverage your connections to get recommendations from senior officers who can vouch for your leadership abilities and potential to handle a demanding course at this stage in your career.
Overall, we believe that you stand a good chance if you apply to MPA programs that aligns well with you and you present a compelling application.
