Master Program Chances (MSF mostly)

I hate myself for posting one of these, but I feel like I have to. Long time lurker, second time posting.

Pertinent Info for Admission:

2.97 GPA (Massive upward trend, 3.8+ past 6 quarters)
660 GMAT (q44 v37)
In terms of experience I don't have much, other than two internships (one in corporate finance at a large tech firm, and another in finance at a large manufacturing firm). One year as a "co-founder" of a e-business with some classmates. Bankrupt now lol
ECs captain of church soccer team, member of rinky-dink clubs at school.

Considering my GMAT isn't going to chance tomorrow (660 CATs), what would my chances be at the following programs?

Tulane
Southern Methodist
USC Business Tax (eh)
Johns Hopkins
Houston
Santa Clara (looks like a nice new program)

Any advice/help/comments will are welcome. Thank you very much to all of the monkeys here.

Those goals are realistic and honest. If SF is one of your main focuses then the only real program right now within your reach is Santa Clara. Their program is pretty flexible which would benefit you. As for the south I would look at Tulane, Duke, Wake Forest. Hopkins is kinda north-ish being in DC or Baltimore, but you could land in a Virginia based bank. Not sure how south you consider south.
