<p>Hello, I recently stumbled across this program, and after a bit of research, I must say Im really interested in applying for this program.</p>
<p>I'm still a lower sophomore (34 Credits), and I've got 3 Semesters left until the deadline for the July 2011 July Application, since I plan to graduate in 2012.</p>
<p>I'm a current CUNY Student with a GPA of 3.5 enrolled in Btech, I've yet to take the GMATs. The average GPAs of the accepted 2009 Applicants were 3.73, and an average GMAT score of 727. Most were female, and Engineering/Life Science majors.</p>
<p>In the upcoming years, I plan to increase my GPA up to at least a 3.8, and score a GMAT score of 760 or higher. However, I'm still worried that my chances would still be pretty slim with those credentials alone because of my undergraduate school being average, being an Asian Male (I heard they're looking for diversity..), and lacking any "Outside" factors such as extracurriculars, and signs of leadership. I can't change who I am, nor can i change my school now. But I can work on strengthening my application through other means.</p>
<p>Can I get suggestions how I can do those? I heard volunteering at Soup Kitchens, and getting as much internship experience as possible are some ways. What are other ways to show leadership and improve my applications? I guess I just want to take the most of the following 1 1/2 years to make my application stand out as much as possible, with my academic standings to simply back it up.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance taking the time to read this.</p>
