How to Prepare

Business schools are interested in a broad variety of candidates from diverse disciplinary and empirical backgrounds. There are no prerequisite courses and no specific types of experiences or internships you need to pursue. Thus you should feel free to develop your interests organically and pursue them in your class choices, your extracurriculars, and your internships. 

You should however be intentional in your choices. Business schools will be interested in understanding you and the path you have taken. So reflect, talk to friends, family, mentors, and advisors and think hard about what your true passions are. The best business school candidates have a vision for themselves and the future impact they hope to have.
