It is possible, but difficult.
You need a good honest story, and a well designed and exercised application strategy.
Plus, it seems you also need to take IELTS or TOEFL.

I highly doubt it unless you have been raised in a business environment. Your undergrad GPA will matter a lot, i think. Also depends on which universities you target and which country you represent.
