Hi Vinita,
Thanks for reaching out to us. You are at a good experience level to pursue an MS or MBA and your goals seem to be a logical outgrowth of your prior experience. Academically, you have a pretty strong GPA, and the CA / CFA certifications. Your GMAT is on the low side for top MBA programs in the US, so I'm not sure if retaking is possible. Note that some investment banks may also use GMAT as a factor in recruiting later on, so it may be in your best interest to maximize that score now.

In terms of target programs, I know the MBA programs at Purdue, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Rochester and Wisconsin all have STEM certification (applicable to certain majors/specializations). If you were able to increase your GMAT, Duke and USC also have them and might be options. If you're open to an MS in Finance program (more specialized) I would check out Boston College, SMU Cox, Ohio State.

Hope those are helpful in getting your target list started!
