I think your good to go, expecially if you apply early in the cycle (June). Although I'm not sure if you can use 2 LOE and a committee letter, I would double check that. Also I would have to suggest applying to a few more than 10 schools, maybe 13-15 bcs you never can predict these things.
Good luck

Have you tried calling to any of the DS and asking for their input? especially since you have not taken any classes in 2 years. I bet they will tell you exactly what other pre-dents are not willing to tell you because they don't want to hurt your feelings ......
