Please Help! Just a quick question!

Hi everyone, I am pretty new to this BSchool stuff. However, I have been interested recently, and wanted to get some feedback as to what prospective schools that I will MOST likely be able to get into. Please be honest. Brutally honest. I am sure I will not get into the top ones, but please offer advice or suggestions as you please! Again, I am fairly new and do not have a good network to learn about B-school.

First off, I'd like to get a Masters in Finance or even an MBA.

I am currently a junior, will be a senior next fall at a non-target, Rutgers. Rutgers Economics Major, Statistics Minor (Not a huge quant freak, but I'm decent) 770 Math, 700 Verbal SATs SAT IIs Math 2c and Writing CRAP. (680s) Cumulative GPA (Will graduate with a 3.3+ because I started out pharmacy) Major GPA (Will graduate with a 3.6+) Lehman Finance Internship. BlackRock Ops Internship. Siemens Tax Internship. President of Business Fraternity. (80+ members) Some extra extracurriculars Pretty vibrant in the interview room.

I'm just trying to get a rough idea where I could possibly get into. My GPA seems to be kicking my ass...but I'd greatly appreciate the help! Also, suggestions regarding readings/preparations would be GREATLY welcomed. Thank you all in advance!

Good luck on finals and your summer internship gigs. And to the people working...life ain't too bad, eh?

Best, Noob

GMAT is necessary if you want to get an MBA; for the MFin program, it would depend on which school you're looking at. these days, most tier 1 b-schools want you to work a couple years before going there (MFin prgrms may not), but im not sure about tier 2/3 type schools. most prob getting some work experience might not be a bad idea--see if you can get yourself into a front office position (and if not, maybe a corp dev type position at a corporation)
