Hello,
I am 19 years old, and embarking upon a BSc in Finance at a Norwegian non-target university (called BI) this August. However so, I have noticed that some employees at the McKinsey branch in Oslo (capital of Norway) are BI alumni. My question to you is, what can I do now and during my BSc to improve my chances of getting into HBS, GSB or Wharton's 2+2 MBA programs? My current plan is to join an investment club at the university, which competes in a nation-wide asset management competition annually (the winner often gets recognition in Norwegian finance newspapers). In addition to this, I plan on joining the local Amnesty International branch, and hopefully, I would be able to be responsible for some demonstrations, protests, and etc. Furthermore, as my BSc allows me to have an internship in the fifth semester (2.5 years from now), I plan to secure an internship at McKinsey, a rather optimistic goal, albeit quite rewarding.
I am not afraid of working hard, and I will do whatever it takes to get in. Any feedback would be highly appreciated.
