All I knew about graduate B-school was that I needed work experience to successfully get in… as well as a financial safety. I could always pursue part-time undergraduate, continuing business education if even my MBA plans fell apart.

While reading GMAT Club and Beat the GMAT posts, I gained a sense of what kind of academics were needed to get into any of the 10 schools on my preliminary list. I saw admits at these with at least one of GPA or GRE (or its GMAT equivalent) below what I had, and then drew the conclusion that all I had left to do at this point was to get work experience.
