<p>So I'm going to Emory as a freshman next year. It's one of my goals to ultimately make it to Harvard Business. I'm still deciding if I want to pursue a joint degree (MD/MBA).</p>
<p>Any advice as to what I should do in college to help bump up my chances? I'm sure it's a completely different ball game than high school but I'm sure it's also a bit similar. I'd like some clarification as to what graduate school, and especially HBS, looks for in college applicants.</p>
<p>They are looking for overachievers, in college and in their first career.
Don’t get an MBA without work experience.</p>
<p>Do as well as you can academically–you need to excel. Develop relationships with professors–you will need their recommendations. Make sure you develop strong quantitative skills and excellent writing skills. Become involved in activities that are interesting to you, and pursue leadership positions.</p>
<p>And have fun–drones do not make attractive candidates.</p>
<p>boys has nailed it! follow that advice and you will get into a top B-school.</p>
<p>Do very well in school, get a good job and accomplish a lot. Get a 730+ on the GMAT. Thats pretty much what you can control on your end.</p>
<p>Good MBA programs very strongly prefer that you have 2-3 years of full time work experience between undergrad and grad. With that said, you want to do very, very well in undergrad. Your grades will very much matter. </p>
