What does it take?

<p>Simple question, what does it take to get into a top tier mba program straight out of undergraduate school? I'm sure work experience plays an important role and being a community college transfer, there isn't much available work experience besides flipping burgers and a promotion to manager at burger king isn't all that impressive. So my question is what else can I do to help get admitted to an mba program straight from undergraduate school.</p>

<p>I'm shooting for internships this summer prior to transferring to fall 07. And i'm sure the transferring institution will be able to get me many more internship interviews. I'm a business economics major and accounting minor. Now would two consecutive summer internships at reputable firms put me in the list of running for an mba at a top tier program?</p>

<p>(schools I have in mind for graduate school, ucla, berkeley, and dartmouth)</p>

<p>I know they are a reach for anyone but I really hold ucla dear to my heart and I'd like to be more prepared. I'm 23 next year and its about time I finish up this school thing =).</p>
