Why mba in finance??

I do have a family business at home ; but its a join business of my father and my uncle; i can exploit its resources only to a certain extent. So i want to establish my own business in a long term;

Owing to my business family, i am good at entrepreneurship. What i really lack is financial skill such as how to generate funds, how to manage funds, how can stock market help u etc.

Hence i want to do MBA in finance. Also, before going to business, i want to have some experience in the field of finance.

What are my chances of getting admission in top 10 colleges?

Please let me know if you think I have a decent chance at Notre Dame and Vanderbilt.

GMAT: 650
GPA: 2.75 (worked 20+ hours a week and was a 4 year student athlete that went to nationals....this partially explains the low GPA)
WORK: 8 years in fixed income structuring and trading at bulge bracket firms in NYC
VOLUNTEER: guide for blind runners in both training for marathons and actually running marathons

Thanks for the help
