Jackie,
This is a very loaded question. If you're asking if you have a chance of getting in. The answer is yes. However, getting in is a function of doing well academically, and facilities needing your background.
The real question you need to ask yourself is if this is what you want. You will be locked in to working after you graduate and there is a reasonable chance you'll be stuck doing something you don't want to do at a salary less than what you could get in the private sector. Alternatively, PHDs almost always go in to research, which could be exactly what you want, and your locality adjustment may put you above the going private rate.
It really all depends.
