4 Year Plan to get into an Elite MBA School?

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I have a quick question. The last 5-6 years I have been making a "solid" amount of money online. This enabled me to pay off my school loans, and travel the world for a bit.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the economy crashed, and I was forced to work a corporate job.</p>

<p>Now, I am alright with my current job, but it certainly is not even close to being "prestigious" as an Ibanker.</p>

<p>I would like to get into an "elite" (top 10) MBA school within the next 3-4 years.</p>

<p>What should I do to prepare myself to make myself a solid candidate?!</p>

<hr>

<p>Current Job: Assistant Buyer at a relatively big retail company. Typical white collar job for those who majored in marketing. Its alright, not very challenging, but still I am in charge for an 8 figure business.</p>

<p>GPA / School: 3.5 in a top 10 business undergrad program</p>

<p>Side Job: My own internet passive income (still making low four figs a month doing relatively little).</p>

<hr>

<p>My Thoughts: </p>

<p>1) Study for the GMAT slowly over the next couple of years</p>

<p>2) Get promoted from Assistant to the next "level" </p>

<p>3) "Legitimize" my internet income, build a website, formally start a LLC, and put a "front" so they can "see" something.</p>

<p>(I've made six figures total from this, its pretty much internet marketing)</p>

<p>How would one handle the situation on one's resume?! I would have to make a LLC this year, but I had a sole proprietorship from way back in the day. How would one list this?!</p>

<p>XX
"Owner / Founder of "LLC Name / Proprietor"</p>

<p>I hear the top business schools love entrepreneurs, and I've made my "fair" share of cash... the trick is how to impress the admins when they see it. I know my best chance of getting into a real elite school is focus on my own business, how does one show that off. </p>

<p>Would you guys even bother listing your "real" corporate job?!</p>
