Some are trying to make it look like if one thing isn't absolutely perfect you're out before you're even in. Not even close.

Whether you intended to or not, your post came off as straight from 1960. Do what you have to do. If you think that the necessary actions to get interviews these days compromise your principles in one way or another, pick a new career. If not, play the game and keep your mouth shut.
What do you think my grandpa thought about me completing UPT with two Japanese Air Force students in a plane designed by a Japanese corporation? Times change.

At AA, there is no weight to a LOR until you've received the interview. It's a bit strange, but that's their process, along with a third-party.
We've had plenty of clients interviewing at AA who knew nobody.

I would go with just the undergrad time, just in case putting the undergrad + grad time hurts you.

A semester or two at the local CC to "remediate" your GPA, and you're in, especially with a reasonable GRE.
Heck, I've seen people go back to school for a few semesters after an epically tragic undergrad GPA, and get into Med school (people & critter), Law school, Dental school, you name it.
Grad schools are croaking for anyone and everyone showing an interest in math, science and engineering. Show even the slightest hint of ability, and you're in, probably with a free ride.
