I've already started looking up volunteering opportunities. To keep the thread the same as my past experience, I'll be vollunteering in the healthcare field.
As for tangible progress on my business idea, this is a little harder since I plan to implement it once I get my MBA. With the way market forces operate in America, my idea could be impractical by then. I'm always dreaming up new ones, though. I'll use the one I think is most relevant at the time I'm applying.
One question I had was that considering my ethnic background and the sheer volume of applicants with similar backgrounds, will getting in be difficult for me? I believe I've had totally different life experiences than most of the people from my ethnic background (I'm trying to be politically correct here!). Have you seen plenty of applicants with profiles very similar to mine?
