my ultimate goal is to get into Wharton & few others 4-5 years from now.

stat:

recent grad at Cornell, BS in Mech. eng (GPA= 3.067)
*I had one particular bad semester @ gpa= 1.9. if it wasn't for that semester, i would have had GPA of 3.2 or higher
*I took one extra semester to graduate. (by choice)

GMAT= 750 (shooting for 770 or higher by the time i apply)
WE= will be working for 4-5 years as an engineer at GE before I apply.
EC= almost non-existant. played piano for 15 years and keyboard in a rock band.

So I'm looking to apply after 4-5 years maybe. Is there anything I can do to prepare myself for the best MBA program?

do i have to start-up a company or what? tell me what i should do
