Which program should I apply to?

Hi, I'm a senior UG student majoring in physics. My current status is an international student, but I'm waiting for my green card, which is expected to be issued in 2019. Since I really want to head into VCs in US, I need to find a program to fit the gap between my graduation and green card.

My gre test seems ok, and I got a really strong major GPA in this hard school and hard department. The overall GPA is still not bad, 3.75, currently.

What could be some options? I've already submitted the application to JHU MSF. Preparing to apply Fordham MSGF and WUSTL msf this month.

Also, when which track should I apply for WUSTL? The corporate finance and investment sounds more suitable to me, but there are just too few international students comparing to the quantity track.
