For the MBA, good grades such as 3.8 or higher, high GMAT score such as 680 or higher, and 3-4 years good work experience after the undergraduate degree. for an MS degree, pretty much the same but work experience tends to be less important. Explore the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria.

Prof's answer hits the nail on the head for the MBA, but I have some experience with applying to LSE, Cambridge, and Oxford for Master's in finance programs so I thought I would share. I graduated with three undergraduate degrees (BS Math, BA Econ, and BBA Finance) and a 3.89 GPA. Applied to Cambridge MPhil Finance, LSE MPhil Finance, and Oxford MSc in Financial Economics. Outright rejected from Oxford, made it to one of the final rounds at Cambridge but sadly was not accepted (my dream school... even had a letter of rec from a former Cambridge professor!!!), and accepted to LSE. LSE was too expensive and I got in to a few US PhD programs, so made the tough decision of not going to England. It is terribly competitive, and your background is similar to mine (if you are thinking of applying to these schools I am assuming your GPA is at least 3.7+), so you have a shot but it is never a sure thing. As far as i-banking and hedge fund possibilities upon graduation, LSE and Said at Oxford are probably your best bets, since the Judge School of Business isn't as well respected in the finance community (although it is still Cambridge, so you will be ok...). Good luck! PS It is much easier to get accepted to the master's programs in economics compared to finance, but it is more difficult to go from econ master's to i-banking/hedge funds, so keep that in mind.
