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?

Harvard Post-Interview Feedback - Don't Pre-Write it!

Q) The NEW Harvard MBA Application Essay requires the candidate to submit an essay, 24 hours after the Interview. Is it possible for a candidate to plan for this essay?

Alex Chu (MBA
Apply):
Many people will fall into this trap of trying to pre-write the essay.

DO NOT DO THIS.

That's why they are asking this essay in the first place. They want to know how you follow up based on what happened in the interview. Adcoms can sense quickly if something is pre-written: it's either too vague and generic, or it's covering material in such a decorated and stage managed way that it's obvious someone spent way too much time trying to manicure every single sentence and to contrive an example that had nothing to do with what happened in the interview.

1.Tell us a little bit about yourself

I am passionate about education and empowering people to achieve their dreams by accessing the best schools possible. This mindset was influenced by my experience being raised by two Ph.D. parents and growing up in university environments where my dad taught. I also have a strong affinity for anything international…I love meeting people from different parts of the world and learning about different cultures. I suspect that this interest comes from being born in Nigeria, growing up in the US and currently living in London.
