Where could I shoot for (grad math)?

[mxbob468]

I'm graduating this fall with double major pure math + physics from fsu with a of gpa 3.71 (math gpa is much higher), a capstone physics thesis, and weak engineering research (no publications, no results, basically spun my wheels for two summers).

Math classes I've taken:

Calc 1-3
Odes
PDEs 1 (of 2)
Linear 1 & 2
Complex variables
Intro to Probability and Statistics

Intro to Proofs
Elementary Topology
Abstract Alg 1 & 2
Advanced Calc 1 & 2

I have probably the same number of physics classes taken, none very impressive either. I can get 1 moderately strong letter (from adv calc professor), 1 decent letter from professor supervising capstone project, and 1 perfunctory letter from abstract algebra professor (heisuke hironaka's daughter ).

I speak Russian fluently (I have no clue whether that matters).

I'm interested in financial math or something else applied that I can actually get a job with (pure math lulz), which was not the case in undergrad, as you can tell by my choice of pure classes.

I'm also interested in using a master's degree (even unfunded) as a stepping stone to a better program.

I'm going into the peace corps next year (and taking all of my textbooks with me).

I have not taken the GRE yet but I'm not really worried about either the general or the subject because I'll have the 2 years in the peacecorps to review everything I've learned.

My questions:1) What can I do to maximize my chances of getting accepted into a good master's program?2) What type of programs should I be looking at?3) What are the best strategies for preparing for the GRE?4) Are there any other tips or pieces of advice that you would like to share?
