zakk,
I think you have a solid shot at both these programs. Your government background is unusual, your community profile is good, you appear to have some impact/leadership stories you can point to, and being Puerto Rican is a big asset in the diversity department. A 660-680 would make you competitive at these schools' part-time programs, so just make sure your whole application is strong: well executed essays, very strong reco letters, etc.
Good luck,
