I go to UT Dallas and have a 4.0 as a Junior. I took dual credit classes in hs and got a 3.2 from that community college. I’m double-majoring in finance and accounting.

1. Assuming I maintain a 3.8-4.0 at UTD and have good letters of recommendation plus a summer internship(this coming summer) at Merill Lynch and study abroad(next summer) and some involvement in business organizations but also founded a social frat, what are my chances at a good MBA school? How will my community college gpa affect my chances?

2. What schools would you recommend? I want to stay in Texas if possible unless i have an amazing opportunity elsewhere. Maybe Rice/UofH/Baylor? Or should I aim as high as McCombs?

3. I plan on fast tracking and getting my MS in Finance because this is my first year here(I’m 18) and I’m a junior. Is this a good idea?

4. Should I try to get my MBA upon graduating or aim for a job and could I even get in with the lack of work experience if I wanted to?

Sorry for all of the questions. Any help is greatly appreciated.
