What level school should I be looking at?

school: UCF (graduating spring '13) major: double math and statistics, minor in business gpa: 3.2 haven't taken the GMAT but I'm confident I can score in the 700's I've taken 4 programming classes

I'm also part of a start up company that I can your for great letters of rec. This all involves excel and some computer programming.

I'd love to get into the quantitative side of things. I've excelled my whole life with quantitative concepts (including 800 sat math).

Just want to know what schools I should be looking at, preferably in the northeast if possible.

I'm new here, so anything else you need to know just let me know. Looks like an awesome community.

Thanks!

Are these realistic opportunities? and if I am graduating in spring '13, when should I get this process rolling?

I would take the GMAT ASAP. Vandy and MIT may be a stretch due to GPA. But Villanova could be a realistic choice. Apply this Fall to start in the Fall of 2013. Talk to TNA about the Villanova program. He knows Meredith Kwiatek, Admissions Director very well and touts the program. Highly recommended.
