Realistic Choices of MBA Programs & How to Better my Chancesmw591September 14, 2020 - 2:22pm

Just graduated from undergrad this year and was planning on applying to grad school sometime in the next five years. Still haven't decided whether to pursue a technical degree (M.S. or M.Eng), a MBA, or even both and was interested in hearing all of your opinions. To give context of my background:

GPA/Major: 3.28 in a honors dual engineering and business program focusing on electrical engineering (my fault my GPA is on the lower end, poor time management during sophomore year)

GRE/GMAT: 161V/164Quant/5 Writing / Currently studying for GMAT

Recommendations: As I just graduated, I don't currently have a good professional recommendation lined up but that'll come with time. Fairly confident in my academic recommendation though. 

Work Experience: Currently just started first full time job in a rotational operations role at a bank, but I've held internship roles all over the place from highly technical engineering internships to IB summer analyst roles. To be honest still not completely sure if I want to be in tech or finance.

Extra-curriculars: Actively involved with Alumni group at alma mater, in the process of creating a start-up, and planning on participating in mentorship programs

 

I know I have a lower GPA than the average of the M7 schools and even some of the T20 schools- was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for me to do in the coming years to better build out my application? Or if there were any interesting dual degree programs like Northwestern's MMM program or other programs like that?
