Not sure on next steps for FT, need some advice

Background:
-West coast target, but for FT I'm willing to go anywhere, even outside the U.S.
-Will be a senior in the fall
-Low GPA (3.3-3.4)
-Boutique IB SA this summer
-2 other non-IB internships in the past

So basically this summer I will definitely be reading as many IB relevant things as I can, but I am wondering what my next steps should be for FT recruiting.

I ran through a practice GMAT without preparing and got 720, so should I just take the GMAT sometime this summer to try and offset my low GPA? I'm hoping to apply to b-school sometime in the next 5 years. Also, would you recommend I find a part time IB internship for fall semester?

Just looking for any thoughts/advice you have regarding the FT recruiting process. Thanks!
