Been out of school for 12 years...

And have a GPA of 2.97.
Which comes as a surprise to me because my Cal transcript said that my GPA was 3.13
Anyway, my question is, will they even bother to look at the fine print?
Basically, I chose the wrong major to begin with, got two F's on my very first semester, had to make it up to qualify for transfer out to another college, ended up taking more than the allowed amount of credits to graduate within four years (had to obtain permission from my counselor).
Will this little tidbit, plus the fact that it's already been 12 years (class of 99), give me reason enough to apply for otherwise 'weak consider' or even straight 'deny' schools, or would they not even give it a second look?
I have done some interesting stuff in the 12 years between, co authoring two books (one technical, one not-technical; though none of them in English) and advancing quite far on a rather unique event...
