Hello,
I am a recent grad from Murray State University with BS in Finance and a CGPA of 3.54/4. I also hold an Associates degree in Hotel Management from India (not a top school) and also have around 2.5 years work experience in the field of hospitality in India. I have worked with J W Marriott hotels and Jet Airways. I have not taken my GMAT yet but expect to score between 550-600 in the exam. I have also been volunteering at a non-profit organisation for a few months now. I have also been briefly involved with some other associations in undergrad school.
I have not followed a traditional academic or professional path so far (Associates degree followed by 3 years work ex followed by 4 years of undergrad school) which makes my case different and complicated. I am now looking to pursue MBA in the field of Finance. Any idea what kind of MBA schools am I likely to get accepted in? Your inputs will be much appreciated.
Profile Evaluation - interesting case!

Well your work experience is not THAT nontraditional for an MBA - you still ARE working in finance, and graduated with a BS in finance.
From what you have written here, it looks like we will need to do some digging, but you definitely have a profile that can be considered "bsuiness-schooly".
At this point it's hard to evaluate which schools you should aim at, so it's probably better to wait for the GMAT. Which, if you are scoring so low now, you should consider now that you are prepared to retake at least two three more time. The GMAT is sooooo important for you to raise the quality of the school that you can apply to, and increase your chances of both getting in and of getting offers for scholarships.
So, do what you can for now, and let us know when you get your score, and then together, we can have a look at which schools might fit you and your goals.
