High stat applicant who missed recruiting in undergrad

Hey guys, little background about me:

-Going into fall semester of senior year with B.S in Psychology from Texas State school (was pre-med)

-3.9 GPA, 334 GRE (164V, 170Q) (Should be equal to 770 GMAT), no related work experience

-Want to change careers into something in the business field, honestly just looking for any opportunity to land a decent job

I have been looking for masters programs in the US/abroad which will allow me to focus on picking up the business/finance skills that I missed in undergrad and to get an internship/job. I have found some MiM's in Europe like LBS, LEC, HEC Paris/ MPhil management @ Oxford/Cambridge which would work for what I am looking for I think, but I would have to go across the world into a different system.

Are there any programs like this in the US which is basically meant for monkeys like me to get a second chance to pivot, ideally leveraging a big name school to get an internship/job?
