Since you've done your own research already, I'll cut to the chase.
To do an MBA from a reputed university, a 610 simply won't cut it. Sure, you can apply and hope for the best. But your chances become so slim that I'm not sure your ROI is really good enough. Given your post-MBA goals, you will certainly benefit from a top business school and I think you have a good enough leadership ability to go to a top b-school; however, at your current GMAT, it puts you at too big of a disadvantage. Re-take the GMAT and aim for 700+. If you get that, I don't see why you can't attend one of the top 16 b-schools in the states or in Europe.

Hi,
Yes your chances would improve a lot if you take your GMAT again and attain a high score. I would like to say that you have an impressive profile. Getting a better GMAT score would balance your profile and increase your chances of getting in the above mentioned top schools.
