Help On My College List: Finance

Stats - GPA : 4.3 Weighted - SAT : 1380 : 760 Math, 620 English - SAT 2 : Math : 790 - AP Scores : Mostly 5's and 4's - ECs : (Internships, Research: Published Author (Peer Reviewed Scientific Journal), martial arts, chess, speech and debate, swimming)

Will probably take Finance so I'm surely applying to the colleges' business school. thinking of working for a Hedge Fund or Investment Bank

General Questions 1. What colleges should I apply to? 2. What schools have great recruiting? 3. Does one absolutely need an MBA or is an undergrad degree enough?

I appreciate the advice, Thanks
