Small School, Wife's Illness, 4.0 Masters of Finance. MBA Program Options

Due to a life-threatening illness my wife experienced, I transferred to a small state school during my sophomore year to be near her doctors. To pay her bills, I worked 4-5 part-time jobs throughout the the majority of my last 2.5 years of school and graduated with a 3.3 GPA. I networked into some cool VC and international economic development consulting jobs, so I was able to get some good experience during that time. Because of my story and experience, I was accepted into a top-10 masters of finance program and will graduate with a 4.0. During my masters I have been working at a somewhat elite PE/CRE broker dealer. With a 740 GMAT, what MBA programs do I have a shot at? Obviously, the biggest and baddest would be awesome, but is there any chance of a top-10? If not, what should I realistically look for?

 

Even, you can't raise a decent amount of money to help your family, I can say that you have to change the field and enter the IT field and learn some skills after you can join the company that will pay you a maximum payment of your skills, that's my opinion now it's all up to you.
