Assuming I have to pay for it, where could I get in?

Courses: Linear Algebra, Calc III, Combinatorics, Discrete Math, Statistics, Real Analysis I and II

Undergrad: HYP (philosophy major)
Undergrad GPA: 3.55

Work Experience: 1 year in banking boutique

GRE: 750+ Q 750+ V

Could I get into math masters programs like Courant or some of the masters in finance programs at Columbia, Princeton, NYU, LSE, etc? If not these, what others could I hope for?
 
Certainly not "those". You can make up for a low GPA with a high Q score. Or vice-versa. But both? And a non-math major? It would be difficult to get in anywhere. I would say aim for Brooklyn College or an equivalent.

I just want to explain my comment before: If your goal is to learn more and improve on your math skills you will be fine in a program like Brooklyn College. You will be given more or less the same material to study as an ivy league school. The main differences are professors, placement, school name,...
