I have an engineering degree from a top university in India and have been in the technology industry for 15 years in the capacity of a software engineer. MBA or Not?

IT Tech Architecht MBA AdmissionsQ) I have an engineering degree from a top university in India and I have been in the technology industry for 15 years in the capacity of a software engineer, engineering manager and architect. Though I made few feeble half-hearted attempts for MBA in US/India, I am not really sure if I should pursue a full-time program or a part-time program.

India doesn't sound too good with part-time programs as not many companies sponsor due to lack of budget. In your experience, what should a person of my background do? I am a strong technology oriented person but I understand that to get a better perspective of business, I need to experience the other side too.

GMAT 610 - Can I get into Tuck or Harvard?

Maxx Associates I got a 610 in the GMAT and I was wondering which top schools would be willing to accept a student like me. A little back ground on me. Female from India, currently residing in Boston Massachusetts I have an engineering degree with a 3.6 GPA and I have 5 years experience.  Presently I am a Business Analyst  and I am also involved in many community services through work.   I have taken the GMAT twice and both the times I have scored 610 despite intense preparations. I would like to go to either Tuck or Harvard mainly because I like the Case Method approach.
 
Please advise if I should even bother to apply to these schools if not which other schools should I be looking into?
