Can I go from Sun y Buffalo to NYU Poly to IVY

So here is my story: I spent 6 years in Undergraduate Engineering at SUNY Buffalo and graduated with 2.1 GPA.

After graduating, I prepped day and night for the GMAT and scored a 760.

Given my shoddy Undergraduate GPA, I'm planning on doing my masters in engineering from NYU-POLY(which is tier 3 college) before applying to b-School

Obviously I plan on doing well- I'm pretty sure I can pull a 3.5(I'm a little older and wiser now.. 25!)

Can I still get into the top lets say 10 B-Schools? Is it realistic?
