Tex Jansen is almost a TestMagic guru.
I think that your best bet to get into a respectable program is to apply to a terminal masters program and then switch to that same department's Ph.D. program a year later. A program will be more willing to give someone with weaker grades a chance if they know them and can convince themselves that they a just a late bloomer. Iowa State seems like the type of place for this.

I think that you will have a very hard time gaining direct admission to any Ph.D. program outside the bottom 10%.
