I feel that I am not yet ready to apply for an MBA. I would like to get a sense though of where i stand, when i can realistically start applying and what I can do until then to improve my chances. I imagine that extracurricular activities are a must. I am also thinking of getting a job outside of the US to improve my resume. Let me know if it is a better idea to remain / keep growing in my current organization vs. getting international exposure.
