Getting good grades and being smarter than the next applicant isn't always enough to win over MBA admission committees at top ten schools. In fact, good grades and an excellent GMAT score are expected. The only way to set yourself apart from the average applicant in the eyes of MBA admission committees is to seek out unique experiences between your undergraduate degree and your MBA application date. Look for the most unique opportunities as an entrepreneur or even community activism that showcase your best skills. MBA admission committees look favorably on initiative and spending your break doing something worthwhile can only help your chances.
