How to get the best out of my time getting an undergraduate to increase chances of going to a top MBA program?

Hey, I’m about to be a freshman at the Kelley School of Business majoring in finance and entrepreneurship. Besides getting a mid 700s on the GMAT, and having a solid few years of work experience once I’m out of undergraduate, what should I do as an undergraduate student to ensure my chances of getting into a top 10 b-school?

I would try to get some work experience as an undergrad. As soon as possible, get an internship. That way you have some good experience for your resume and you can see for yourself what sorts of work you like and do not like.

Also, try being involved in different business clubs/groups, etc. That is a good resume builder, etc.

Lastly, I would recommend being close with different faculty members. It is always great to have contacts and connections with people who know the field and have other connections themselves.

Good luck and way to be thinking as a freshman!

How should I approach studying these in college?

I’m interested in two things that don’t seem to have a good undergraduate program, seeing as theyre so specific. so I guess I’ll have to further continue them in undergraduate studies. I really like biological sciences, especially genetics and microbiology. I’m also interested in history and the development of human culture. I want to study the history of medicine, but in order to do that, what should I focus on as my undergraduate major, history or biology?

For your undergrad I would focus on biology with a minor in history, then maybe try for a masters degree in history, where you will be able to specialize more.

Where can I find practice problems and solutions for a graduate astronomy course?

I’m currently doing Interstellar Medium and Cosmology. The text of the course are Lequex for ISM and Ryden and Dodelson for Cosmo. Are there any books with practice problems and solutions? I checked the Schaum’s series, but their Astronomy book is for an undergraduate course.

References like that are certainly helpful for advanced engineering classes (I still have the one I used for my P.E. exam preparation). I am not sure what the nature of such calculations would be for the classes that you described. Those subjects do not lend themselves to a lot of individual “problem set” type homework assignments. However, I found at least the Dodelson text on Amazon. If you cannot find anything useful in the book store where you found these texts (that would be my first source) then I would go to Amazon and look through what they have on line. You can also speak to your professor. If he is a decent guy, as most of them are, he can probably give you some idea of what’s in store for the semester – calculation-wise. Good Luck.

Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces $44.92 “The theory is systematically developed by the axiomatic method that has, since von Neumann, dominated the general approach to linear functional analysis and that achieves here a high degree of lucidity and clarity. The presentation is never awkward or dry, as it sometimes is in other “modern” textbooks; it is as unconventional as one has come to expect from the author. The book contains about 350…

Basic Stochastic Processes $27.52 This book is a final year undergraduate text on stochastic processes, a tool used widely by statisticians and researchers working in the mathematics of finance.

Although the original audience was made up of mathematics students, the focus is on the chain of reasoning that leads to the relativistic theory from the analysis of distance and time measurements in the presence of gravity, rather than on the underlying mathem…
