Hi Scott & Omari,
I would appreciate if you could evaluate my profile. I am only applying to part-time programs at NYU and Chicago.

660 (Q49, V31), AWA= 5.0
Academics
BSEE (Cum Laude) - (top 15 Eng. school) - GPA:3.66/ 4.0
MSEE - same school as BSEE - GPA: 3.56/ 4.0
Work Experience:
5 yrs with a major telecommunications vendor
Have Leadership Industry positions in Organizations - like representing my company in meetings.
Short Term Goal: Senior Management Business Development position
Long Term Goal: Open a Telecom Consultancy Firm
Awards:
US PATENT - Filed but not yet awarded (it takes a long time)

Yes, I would say that your verbal score and your low level of community involvement may be a bit of a challenge. But, they're definitely not deal breakers.
A few thoughts:
1) Are you done with the GMAT for sure? Or are you asking if you should take it again? Depending on when you were planning on applying, you should have enough time to try it again. It may be worth a shot, although I don't think that your GMAT score will certainly keep you out.
2) Given your extracurricular resume, I think that your leadership experience at work will matter a lot. You mentioned that you've represented your company in organizations... But have you led workgroups or led a significant project within your company? That could help a lot in terms of demonstrating leadership potential/experience.
3) If you're looking at those two programs, how about also considering Kellogg and Wharton for a part-time MBA?

Scott,
Thank you for your comments. My responses below to your questions.

Yes. I have already applied to NYU's part-time program because I want to give it a try. I decided to spent more time on my essays rather than work on the verbal section - I hope this pays off. 660 on the GMAT was my 2nd attempt, on my 1st attempt I scored a whopping 480 - had a bad day!

Yes, representing my company and leading projects globally is part of my job responsibilities - as a matter of fact I am writing to you from Tokyo's Narita airport on my way to China to represent my company. I've led a project in Europe that has earned me international recognition. I am also the Chairman of a group within an international UN organization that is studying an advance wireless technology - this is a global industry leadership position - I hope the admissions committee realize this.
3) If you're looking at those two programs, how about also considering Kellogg and Wharton for a part-time MBA?
Does Wharton offer a part-time MBA, I thought they only have full-time and Exec. MBA. Regarding Kellog, I'd love too but Kellog admits local residents (in and around Chicago, Ohio etc) to its part-time program.
BTW, I've read a Forbes article that states TUCK is planning to start a part-time MBA program either in Boston or NYU. Do you know anything about this?
I'd really appreciate your feedback.
