Also, do you think I stand a chance at any decent deferred MBA Program?

Hi there Karam12345,
I don't know as much about MFin programs, but I know that they definitely emphasize quant skills, so hopefully you have a strong showing on your GMAT quant and top grades in challenging quant courses in school.
Deferred MBA programs can be very selective, and they're often designed more for students with less traditional business backgrounds, so I think your chances would be tougher in a deferred MBA vs. a MFin program. I'm not saying an MBA should not be on the table for you, I'm just not sure that schools will see your profile now and see there's a good case to snatch you up early for an MBA, if that makes sense!
Your work experience is interesting, but also quite varied, so you'll need to connect the dots and show how they will inform your goals going forward.
Hope that helps, and good luck!
