MSF Profile Evaluation

Hey folks!
I have a very odd profile, but please bear with me.
I am in undergrad for one more year, where I'm majoring in Theater Arts (production, lighting, that sort of thing, not acting) and minoring in business. I've just recently taken my GMAT for the first time and got a 610 (Q43, V31). I would love to retake it and could probably get my score higher if I can score a fee waiver, but no guarantees, so pretend that the 610 is my score for good. My other studies have been in computer science, accounting, and finance. I'm taking the classes for the CPA track accountants and for the financial math majors as electives, and I've been getting A's across the board in those classes. My current GPA as of Fall 2015 is 3.5, but I could reasonably get that to maybe a 3.6 by the end of the year.
Additionally, I'm registered for the LSATs in December. Practice tests put me at a 155 with no prep (63rd percentile-ish), and I could probably bump that up 5 to 10 more points.
My ultimate goal would be to get a joint MSF/JD, though there's only a small handful of schools that offer that combo, with my favorite pick being Vanderbilt. I'd also eventually love to get a PhD in Finance or Financial Economics down the road.
No work experience in the field, but one remarkable student leadership position and a great deal of team work experience and lots of work in my field, which is technical theater.
So, how does my profile look? Should I give up on the MSF for now and focus on law school, or try really, really hard to retake the GMAT? If I can't retake the GMAT, how do I look right now?
