What Should I Do?

Hey guys,

Quick question. Basically COVID x being at a non-target screwed me from SA '21 gigs this year. I do plan on re-recruiting one more time (between Jr and Sr year) for SA and FT gigs, but was also debating applying for an MSF degree at a good school as well (just to keep my options open). My GPA is a 3.73 and I've had 2 internships thus far - 1 PE internship (nothing too crazy) and an IB internship at a small firm that does some pretty neat deals (really solid experience thus far, loving it). The IB internship doesn't give job offers so staying there and converting SA to FT is not possible. If I don't get into banking after this re-recruitment cycle, which MSF schools would I be able to get into? Suppose with a 680-720 GMAT. 

Thanks!
