How can one get into Wharton or Sloan?

My advice is to go to college and ask these questions to your college counselors or career center professionals. Don’t ask us on this board. For all you know, we could be a bunch of maniacs.

But the answer to your question is quite obvious. Good grades, good GMAT, good work experience. Go to the website of what you perceive to be a “good” business school and look at their GPA and GMAT ranges. And you don’t necessarily have to work for a company with a “name brand”, as long as you get meaningful experience and can show the admissions people that it gave you the tools to help you succeed at the next level.

And yes, you do need to work full time after college. Unless you’re some whiz kid from Stanford or Harvard with near perfect grades and test scores.
