I wouldn't sweat choosing a specific degree program unless you are truly passionate about that program. Apply to a variety of programs that interest you and see where you are accepted. Then choose the one that interests you the most. However, be sure that your choice keeps you in the thick of something interesting and hard. Doing anything because of what outsiders feel is a good match is a bad idea. Moreover, your choice of degree will probably have little to do with your ultimate career (unless you get the Ph.D.) I got a B.S. in math. Then I didn't know what to do with myself, so I got a Master's degree in math. Then I still didn't know what to do, so I started a Ph.D. My biggest regret was that I took a part-time job at a reseach lab because I felt it would 'compliment' my Ph.D. The job and degree program both screwed me, and I took a job as a computer programmer.
As far as getting an MBA goes. I went back to school and just finished mine. It was a great decision, because I did it for all the right reasons. Specifically, I wanted to do it for me and not because it fell under someone's version of 'proper fit'
