I think you have a good shot if you can hone in on your Post MBA vision a bit more. It will make you look immature if you come across sounding like you will "figure it out as you go." Better to pick a path and write confidently about how you will succeed and leverage your past experience to get there. This is usually a good recipe for success in the application process. Let us know if we can help you pull things together.

No I don't see you being competititve at those schools with only a couple of years of work experience. If you come back after 4 years of WE and demonstrate leadership/promotions etc. you would have a much better shot.
