Decent extra curricular.

SChool selection relies on fit, and fit relies on three key areas: personal, professional and academic. From a personal perspective, you must fit within the school's philosophy and culture. How do the students interact with each other? Do you prefer a collaborative or competitive environment? For professional fit, you must look at the placement of graduates and see if any go on to thrive in your desired area of employment. What is the school known for in the recruiter world? Finally, for academic fit, you must be in the "ballpark" with GPA, undergraduate degree prestige and GMAT score. These three key areas will help you begin to narrow down your schools. What are you interested in doing post MBA?
