Unique situation. Need advise on how to get into MBA

I am 25 and have about 3 semesters left of undergrad. My current gpa is 3.2 in accounting. I have already been to two schools; bob jones and liberty university (Dean's list 4 out of 5 semesters). I did not get to pick which college I wanted to go to out of highschool and was not advised on how to get into top graduate school or the importance of it! I learned concrete construction as a trade starting at 14 during summers and started my own company at 20 after leaving school. I am in charlotte nc still running my business, and am going to get my bs. I plan to return home to my family to save money and concentrate on building my GPA. I am obligated to a lease here in NC until aug. Should i go to a local school here (winthrop) and knock out one semester ASAP and then do the other two back in Erie Pa? that makes a total of 4 undergrad schools. how bad does that look? will the final school be ok with that? should I wait and finish in erie in one final school, making a total of 3?

I am curious to hear from experienced people if my entrepreneur endevors, and work ethic make me an interesting applicant. I have also done an intership in an accounting firm but have limited experience in a convetional setting. I have organized and managed a handful of large projects totalling over $1,000,000 using 15 employees and was known for finishing way ahead of schedule and under budget. I have realized in this recession that I have a lot to learn about business, and want to take this time to better myself, and move into a global economy, rather than fight with the economy. I am looking at University of Pittsburgh (Katz) 2012
