In order to decide which schools to look at you need to think about what you want out of your MBA experience. How do you feel about program size, geography, culture, career services, etc...? You have plenty of time to do the research and the programs will probably have evolved a bit by the time you apply. More inportant, you should think about what you can do to enhance your candidacy. In a word - LEADERSHIP. Whether it is school involvement as an alum, community activities, or your career, make sure that what you are doing highlights leadership skills and other behaviors desirable to business school. You have the time to ensure that your activities are meaningful, so take advantage of that. Good luck!
