Need Advice on Whether to Apply for 1-Year MSF Programs

I am currently on my 3rd year at a mid-level UC. My parents forced me down the pre-med path and I have basically finished my bio major but have since switched to investment banking; I have three internships at small boutiques and have spoken with 190 investment bankers but didn't get SA interviews. My GPA is a 3.6 because I was taking 24 units my freshman and sophomore years. My current internship could potentially lead to a job offer, but a lot of that depends on whether the firm plans to add an Analyst.

What I am trying to figure out is, should I graduate this year and go to a good MSF program or do a double major at my UC? This quarter is light for me so I can spend plenty of time studying for the GMAT.
