Your resume isn't quite stellar,work experience isn't really that important but it's nice to have.Your weak point is your math.There are some math prereqs you have to meet but I am not sure if it's necessary.You're going to have to email those programs personally.I think you have a pretty good shot for the master programs(Nice gmat score) but not for the MBA.You can still get your MBA even if you have a master's degree so don't worry about that.Also can you afford the tuition and stay?What are your after graduate plans?

I want to get into a top financial engineering/computational finance program as well but I still got 1 year of school left and i'm not even close to your achievements. You could also look it the same kind of programs in the UK,they might be just as good and maybe slightly easier to get into.
