Business schools application suggestions

Hello! I am a U.S citizen living in Seoul. Here is my background. GPA: 3.8 GMAT: 690 TOEFL: 109,

I have* no* internship or any related experiences in the industry, which is one of my biggest weakness.

I am now applying to business schools for MSF program, but most them rejected my application, i think maybe this is because I do not have industrial experience.

My career goals is not too ambitious. I would like to work in governmental agency in the future, because it is much stable.

Now, I am thinking about UT-Dallas, University of Houston, University of Purdue. I prefer to work in the South. Does anyone apply for these schools or already enroll in them?

I would like to learn about whether it is worthwhile to go to those schools. Thank you!
