Yeah that GPA is kind of low (understandably with STEM courses), but the 740 GMAT should be enough to be a 'splitter'. I think you will get into a few of your target schools - you have a very strong background. Your career path seems reasonable and achievable.
Yeah, seems very reasonable to me. Only ding is being an over represented group (asian), but everything else is solid.
