Don't get cocky. 750 is not much above the median at Stanford (720) and though it is above HBS's median (690), it's not in the stratosphere. Even if you have a better GMAT score, in two years there will be other applicants against whom you're competing who will have better work experience, have started their own company, etc. The main thing you should think about is what to do for two years that will distinguish you from the herd when you apply to B-schools in two years. I-banking, consulting are fine, but just realize that you will have to do VERY well at these things, b/c the b-schools have a surplus of that profile of applicant. Good luck.
