Mitigating my Major and Lack of Exp

I'm about to graduate with a 3.8 w/political science degree at a average state school. I thought i wanted to go to law school , but the thought depresses me. Also, I do not have much work experience other than serving in the army as a private for a year (due to circumstance). I have the itch to go back in the army as a combat arms officer and get out as captain. Of the top MBA programs, would i likely be accepted to any of them, considering i do well ?

Yea I'm sure they do. I think they have an exam that measures aptitude in certain areas. I'm pretty strong in math. I really just want to choose the military career that wil give me the best chance of getting into a good program. I don't mind going the armed route though, artillery is what interests me the most

 

Thank y'all for the replies. It seems as if the business world is much happier and optimistic than the legal world. I'm really looking forward to jumping in.
