It is a tough, tough go right now for prospective MBA students with no work experience. Frankly, I wouldn't even waste your time right now on applying. Considering your major and GPA, I'm going to guess you'd do pretty well on the GMAT. With strong scores, you might want to wait a couple of years- or more- to make sure you're getting into a school that matches your ability.
I say this because I have a 710 GMAT, 3.6 GPA from a top ranked school with only one year work experience, and I am having a tough time. So far, I have been rejected from William and Mary---- look at their class profile. This is all to say you don't want to down grade schools just because you haven't worked for a couple of years. That being said, look at University of Rochester if you're just dying to go to grad school right away. They are a top tier program leading the way in MBA admissions by recruiting younger applications who, despite less work experience (0-2 years) display a lot of potential and higher than average GMAT scores and GPA. You might want to look into that program.
Best of luck to you!
