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!

School Board of education members?

Just curious and want to get some feed back from you all. I notice in some states that school Board of Education (BOE) members is not required to have a college degree. In my area, some board members do not have anything higher than a high school diploma and these individuals are the boss to the school superintendent who has a either a masters or a doctorate degree. I spoke to a teacher not to long ago and she indicated that when a certain board member comes to her classroom to observe, she really doesn’t pay the member any attention because she (the board member) does not know what she is looking for as far as curriculum goes. This board member has a high school diploma but has been out of high school about 40 years and never worked in the school system. What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you think school board members should have a college education and/or experience working in a school setting?

Yeah, they should at least have experience working in a school. If your school district elects its board members instead of having them appointed by the mayor or whoever, you can make it a campaign issue. Otherwise you can try to get the city council or state legislature to set minimum qualification requirements if they appoint board members.
