Had an epiphany and need advice (getting an MBA)
 

I decided that I don't want to play poker for the rest of my life - surprise surprise. So in freshman year, I was taking 4 classes a quarter and got a 4.0. I was doing really well, but then sophmore year came around, and I started doing well in poker. So I made school a very low priority, and ended up with a 3.07 cum :/, after only taking 3 classes every quarter.

Sad, I know, but I want to do whatever I can to make sure I can get into a good graduate school now, hopefully business. I was thinking this year, I would join a Business fraternity, try to obtain an officer position in it, and help put up Fusion, a hip hop dance competition that's big @ my school (biggest hip hop competition in california), on top of getting a 4.0 this quarter.

Additionally, I would try to obtain an internship during the summer doing some bitchwork at a financial firm. Thoughts/Criticisms on any or all parts of my plan would be appreciated

Don't get an MBA before you work for a couple years.

Like tabako says, you'll only really benefit from an MBA with couple years work. If you're really interested in grad school straight after graduation, consider something else.

oh no, i just want to do the right thing. am i on the right track if i want to get an MBA? should i take my GMAT this year? (gonna be a junior)

Re: Had an epiphany and need advice (getting an MBA)
 

The track to an MBA may or may not involve an undergraduate business degree. In most cases, it requires a few years of real, full time work.

I don't know why you would want to take the GMAT before you are working and know that an MBA will be beneficial to your career path, but I guess you could take it while an undergrad.

I'm not sure why you are specifically looking to get an MBA instead of a different kind of graduate degree, but like bluebear said, if you want to continue school immediately after your undergrad, you should find a different field.

I'm fine with working a couple years before pursuing an MBA, because I just don't want to screw up my life, and this is the only way I know how? I mean I can't go to med school cuz I'm an economics - management science major, and I'm not very interetsed in law. I am however slightly interested in business, so that's why I'm pursuing it. Bad logic?

4.0 good. Internship good. Everything else= giant waste of time.

business frat = sucks?

Re: Had an epiphany and need advice (getting an MBA)
 

and i was thinking fusion because i could do marketing for that and that would be good on a resume, filling a stadium with like 3-4k of people seems pretty big - bad logic?
