Hi Priyanka,
Without knowing more about your future goals and academic background, it is difficult to make concrete recommendations. Is there a reason why you only want an accelerated program? There are not very many of these at top schools - most are geared to "executives" with much more experience than what you currently have. Columbia has a program which might be of interest (it is a January start date and you go to school through the summer so there isn't a traditional internship opportunity). This could fit well with your finance background, however, your GMAT is a little low and your work experience a little bit light.
I am guessing that you are not a native English speaker, if this is the case, you might find INSEAD's program appealing. It is accelerated and very well regarded internationally.
However, my last piece of advice would be to consider a traditional 2-year business school program. While accelerated programs may be right for some people, the 2-year program is only a slightly longer commitment and it does enable you to learn from an internship. The investment is well worth it (in my opinion!). And, it will give you much greater flexibility.
