<p>I'm currently an undergrad sophomore (technically a Junior, almost a Senior by credit hours) at Florida State University with a 3.7 GPA. I'm triple majoring in Finance, Economics, and Criminology.</p>
<p>Next year I plan on starting an Honors thesis research paper under a panel of multiple professors within the Criminology + another undecided department on a topic relating to cyber crime.</p>
<p>I really want to go to a good business school directly after undergrad and would like to stay in the South East. I like technology/programming and had FSU had a better undergrad CS program I may have picked that as one of my majors.</p>
<p>Right now my ultimate dream school is Georgia Tech. They've been working their way up the ranks of business schools (US News put them tied with Emory at #22) and I've been emailing their advisors to see if there's any way I could work on a Bachellors in CS while working on my MBA, if I'm accepted.</p>
<p>I'm also interested in Duke because they also have a good business school and CS department. </p>
<p>What else do I need to get into a good business school? I've heard at several grad school workshops that research, specifically the multi-semester long Honors These is like a giant gold star sticker on the application. </p>
<p>In high school they stressed community service, is that still expected for graduate school? </p>
<p>What can I do outside of raising my GPA and praying for a good GMAT score that will help my chances of getting into Georgia Tech?</p>
<p>I plan on starting an online business this summer. I guess if I can make it profitable that will help me out too.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
