Can I get into Stanford / Harvard for MBA?

Went to a state school, 3.8 GPA with honors, wrote a thesis and was an officer in multiple clubs. Did IB at a no-name boutique and am now in corporate venture capital at a tech firm. I got 720 on my GMAT but feel like I need to retake it. Straight white male.

Would like to move into late stage VC / Growth Equity. Is Stanford / Harbard possible? Would I need a 750+ to even get an interview? Is the 720 good enough to get me into Columbia / Booth / Haas?
