Rebranding through Fordham MSF/advice for IB/AM from non-target

I am a rising senior at a private non-target school with hopes of pursuing a career in IB/AM (decided late in UG). Majoring in finance with a minor in economics. I have a 3.6 GPA and am also an international student and division 1 athlete. I am weighing my options right now and rebranding myself at a more prestigious school through a MFin (or similar program) seems like the best option. I have yet to take the GMAT but have had success with standardized tests in the past.

Fordhams Gabelli MSF has peaked my interest due to proximity to NYC but I have read mixed reviews. anybody have any advice/recommendations?
