Tips for Grad School?

<p>I just sort of want to do an overview if I'm on the right track. In the fall I will most likely be a transfer student to Georgetown University as a Sophomore. I am double majoring in International Business & Finance, then a double minor in International Relations & Economics.
(This is not set in stone yet, naturally.)</p>

<p>I have a 3.9 and 45 credits. At my old university I was heavily involved in student government and Habitat for Humanity as well as some volunteer work with a local animal rehab group called TASOW. I have some other EC's and volunteer work but these are the most involved.</p>

<p>International volunteer work in Guatemala & Indonesia this year. I am heading to Nicaragua later this year and possibly Iran next May. (I expect around 6-10 of these experiences by the time I graduate)</p>

<p>Studying abroad in Shanghai, China Fall 2011. There's obviously a lot of planning, but I would like to do two internships; one in the private and one in the public sector (my sophomore and junior summers). I am thinking the World Bank,IMF, maybe some other NGO/IGO and then something in Investment Banking. </p>

<p>Ideally, I am thinking about attending grad school for International Development (heavyset on econ), maybe a joint degree with an MBA or JD depending on what area I fall into. The schools I have been looking at specificially include:</p>

<p>Harvard Kennedy
Columbia
London School of Economics
University of Chicago
University of Pennsylvania
MIT
New York University</p>

<p>Would attending Harvard Summer school help my chances? I'm really just starting to think about my grad school options, I do have a couple of year before applying. Any advice would be great, thanks.</p>
