What school to apply for

Hello everyone,

I graduated in June 2017. My degree is in business administration specializing in finance and management control. Major GPA: 3.2, Overall: 2.68. I studied in France and the evaluation of my transcripts was done by WES. That's how I got my GPA.
I have been in the US for a little over 6 months now but I had a hard time getting a job in investment banking. I have done an internship last year in ALM (asset and liability management).
I don't have enough experience to get into an MBA (and only 22) and I have been advised not to do an MBA without significant experience. My option is then to get master's in finance. I am applying to msf programs and want to get a good idea what I should be aiming for given my situation and where I could realistically get in.
By looking at my current situation, what schools do you think I should be applying to ? I am currently in Atlanta.

Thank you in advance for your responses,
