How can I prepare my application to get into Harvard Business School/Wharton/Stanford 5 years from now?
1) What are the kind of community service involvements B-Schools like HSW like to see?
2) Would I need supplementary transcripts? I had all A's in my quantitative mathematics coursework.
Basically, what can I do to get into HBS 5 years from now?
