Here are my views of your chances at the schools you have listed already:
Georgetown--you are very close to being a match for this school as long as you don't apply for special programs like SFS. The school has one of the top 15 or so business schools in the country. The school is very expensive, however, and is not known for giving "full-rides". Average cost to attend: $40,000 per year (includes housing and meals). Average "free aid": $18,000 per year, average loans: $2,000 per year
Upenn--your SAT CR is simply too low to have any chance at this school--especially if you plan to apply as a business major. Their business school (Wharton) is ranked as the #1 business school in the entire country. If you could raise the SAT CR score to a 670 level, then maybe you could get in. The school is known for giving almost a free education. Average cost to attend: $35,000 per year. Average "free aid": $26,000 to $28,000, average loans: the rest of your costs are covered via loans or other aid
Villanova--you should be able to get in here--and they have a good business school also--probably top 25 in the country. Costs are $35,000 per year. Average "free aid": $18,000 per year, average loans: about $3,000 per year
Franklin & Marshall College--You would get in here with no problem at all. Business is the main major--but the school is not recognized as a top business school (it is a top 200 school overall, and business is probably top 70). Still, not a bad program--just not the same level as the others listed so far. Total costs to attend: $38,000 Average "free aid": $14,000 Average loans from school: $4,000 (as you can see, it's going to be expensive to go here).
