Evaluation Please...Finishing JD, Thinking of Pursuing MBA

Hi there,
So I am graduating law school this year from a T14 school. I am most likely going to be taking a litigation position in a mid-size to large firm but would eventually like to get my MBA. My UGPA is 2.97 (too much partying at a good state school) but I am on pace to graduate with honors this year (3.65 law school GPA...which I feel is better than it looks considering the curves that were applied). I have taken the GMAT but only scored a 590. I didn't study for it and took it on a whim as a 1L in law school because my first school (not the T14 - I am a transfer student) basically said if you take it you will be accepted into the joint degree program no questions asked. I am confident in my ability to increase my score. I would like to attend Booth or Kellogg or possibly Carlson in the Twin Cities. I guess my main concern is knowing what my GMAT would have to be to be competitive at either Booth or Kellogg or get a significant scholarship to Carlson. Also, will admissions factor in my recently demonstrated success in law school (and forget about my UGPA)? Any advice would be great! Thanks
