Are you a white guy? Getting into Kellogg keeps getting harder and harder.
Yup. Got my foot in the door with being a veteran, but the GMAT score is holding me back.
And I absolutely refuse to retake that damn test for any reason.

I'll tell you this, dude: my numbers weren't too different from yours (my GPA was worse), and was accepted at two of the M7 schools you're talking about. I very much benefited from being an Iraq veteran and had an extra boost of coming from a hard science program at ND in undergrad. I am not oblivious to that at all.
But I don't think either of those were determinative. Your essays and interview matter the most of anything you do as long as you clear minimum hard data thresholds (say, 700+ on the GMAT and and a 3.3 in a reasonably difficult state school program or a 3.0 in a very difficult state school program or elite private school). The biggest thing, by far, is being able to articulate what specific value that you bring to the school that no one - or very few others - can. These are capitalist institutions operating in a capitalist paradigm; they want to have strategic differentiators. Also, I'll let you in a dirty little secret: if your salary is near their average post-grad salary (around $130K or so before bonus), you're probably a bit less likely to be admitted than if you're pulling in 60 - 70% of that. The pre/post differentiator is a big metric on how these schools are evaluated.

Not in my legal opinion.

Now that's an incisive observation.
