Somewhat unusual profile - not sure whether to apply

Hi Alex,
I have a different story from a lot of people here, and basically, I want to know whether applying is even worth my time. When I graduated undergrad - a top 10 liberal arts college with a 3.5 gpa but a humanities major - I thought I wanted to go to law school, but decided to work for 2 years as a paralegal to make sure. As it turns out, being a lawyer sucks, and I decided not to apply.
Since then, I have worked for 2 years for a fairly prominent non-profit organization in D.C., with one promotion and increasing responsibility. I also have a 750 GMAT.
After b-school, I would want either to return to my current field in a role with even more responsibility, or transition to finance/consulting/GM. To do this, I'm pretty sure I'd need to get into a top 10 school. Since my work experience kind of sucks compared to the people with MBB or IB analysts right out of undergrad, do I even have a chance at a top 10 school? Feel free to go hard on me... I want to be very realistic about my chances. Thanks very much for any insight!
