I am a recent university graduate with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology from a prestigious university. However, I would like to go into finance and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for what kind of job opportunities I can pursue? I have a fairly high quantitative aptitude (I took a full-length, timed GMAT yesterday for the first time, without practice, and scored a 720). Thanks in advance for your advice!!!

Go for a CFA designation or master's degree in finance - you might need to take some undergraduate classes in business first, but it would be worth it. You can get an entry-level position as a stock analyst if you have a strong interest in the stock market - your statistical background would be very appealing. You just need to "prove" to a company that you have a high degree of quantitative knowledge and you could apply that to finance, and the 1st level of the CFA program would help (www.cfainstitute.org).

Finance is a big field. How about a financial advisor at a University. With a B.S. in Biology, you might want to stick with that if you want the opportunity to make the big bucks.
Good luck!
