One thing is that if you are looking for a career in marketing, it's not necessarily that important to have a specialization in the field, since most core curriculum will cover marketing in some depth. You may consider a general MBA instead, potentially.

This is a good place to start:

For some of the US schools there -- Wharton, Wisconsin, etc., your GMAT score is probably on the low side. You might consider re-taking it. Rutgers might be a possibility.

As for UK schools, that might be a bit tricky. The schools where you might be competitive with your GMAT score -- Manchester, Henley, etc. -- don't really place significant numbers in marketing. You might consider an MSc in Marketing instead.
