My stats:
GMAT: 770
GPA: 2.9 Cum GPA, 3.33 Economics major GPA. 3.2 my last two years taking almost all math classes.
Work experience:
2 years teaching over seas (South Korea and Germany). I'm able to speak Korean and German. English is my native language.
1 year fortune 500 company experience as an analyst (Hated cubicles went overseas).
Start ups:
Created a non-profit to pay for former foster children's books, food, and rent while in college. Raised $80,000 in three years.
Softs:
Member of a non-profit that plans and organizes charity events for other charities.
Eagle Scout
Former foster child (Only 2% graduate college), First generation college student from my biological family.
Member of a fraternity (Lots of community service)
Do I have a shot at these schools? I know my GPA is laughable. Should I do a masters program in say finance and then apply?
Any advice would be great.

I definitely think you have a shot at the schools you mention. Although you have a low GPA, your big GMAT should compensate for that and it seems there is a lot else to like in your application. Imho, you're not a lock at these schools, but definitely in the game.
