Freshman at MIT with some questions on mba or jd/mba application down the road

Graduate School Business School - MBA

<p>I am a freshman at MIT, probably majoring in 18-c, which is a degree that synthesizes math and computer science courses. I am also an important part of the varsity fencing team and can see myself as captain down the road. I also plan to find research this summer, and internships the summers before junior and senior year. </p>

<p>As long as I keep a good gpa (and by the way, what would be a good gpa for someone like me? Do I need mostly A's, or is a mix of A's and B's ok?..) and do well on standardized testing, would I have a strong chance at top 10 mba or jd/mba programs? Admittedly, I am not quite sure of whether I want to do law or business, however I definitely want to get a professional degree and getting into a dream jd/mba program like Harvard's or Penn's would open up many opportunities for me. Any general advice for me about grades, extracurriculars, work experience, etc?</p>

<p>Work experience in a business environment is what is most expected for an MBA admission to top schools. I am not certain research necessarily helps as much as internships. Top business schools would like to see 2-5 years of work experience and so internships would help more.</p>
