I recently graduated with a BBA degree, I have two majors: Finance and Statistics, and also a certificate in Mathematics. However, my GPA is low, which is 3.05. Before the last semester, my GPA was at 3.3, due to some medical issue I wasn't able to go to class for a while and finally my GPA went down to only 3.05. I had three summer internships before, HSBC bank, PwC, and a company. Based on my course GPA, I did better in Statistics than Finance. My Stats major GPA is about 3.5.

Now I want to apply for grad school, which major will I have more advantages? A statistics program or a business program? Since I think my internship experience may help to make up my low GPA a little bit if I apply for a business program, it that true? Will a high GRE Score help? Please give me some direction since I'm afraid that no school wants me since my GPA is low. Thank you ！

You should not apply for grad school without some concrete reason for going, such as you need the degree to obtain a certain type of job, which you could not obtain without the degree. I think you should ask yourself why you want a graduate degree, what type of job you want for example, and that should help you choose which subject to apply for, because one subject could lead to different opportunities post-degree than the other

You don't go to graduate school and select a major like you do in undergrad. It's much more goal-directed. It seems like you have had great internships at some big companies - you should try to get a job for now, and only consider graduate school if you need it to do what you want. You would need work experience for an MBA anyway.
