I am not a consultant but can honestly tell you your chances are not strong with just the given credentials. With a 660 coming from the IT background, I don't think so.

With a 700, 6 yrs work ex, Not too bad essays, satisfying interviews and Strong LOR, I was not even considered for an interview at a top 10 school. I was interviewed at 3 top 20s and admitted to a top 30.

But if you have stellar essays, unique stories to cover up for IT, worked in the social sector for long etc, you can improve your chances.

Just missed out, the 2 years in the US can be a helpful factor.
