Message: Well, I still must complete two more years of undergrad. What I am really concerned about is how to get into a great job after undergrad, but before B-school. I would love to get my JD/MBA from Harvard. But coming from a state school, I will have to rely on my GMAT/LSAT and work experience to get me in. I know that lots of studying is the answer to the two tests, but with the work experience, I would love an internship next summer of an analyst job after graduation. I am just afraid that this is out of the question. I should graduate with a 3.5 gpa or so, but is it even possible to compete with everyone coming out of Harvard with undergrad degrees and inflatted grades. I have to find some little nitch that I-banks are looking for to set me apart. I am looking to you guys (the pro's) to help me figure out what that is. Basically, what can I do in the next two years to make sure to get on the street so that I can get great work experience then go to Harvard. Thanks in advance to all who apply.
