I know I am very early, but I am love preparing for new paths in life. I am currently a student at the University of Delaware, and I am currently 18 yrs old. When I graduate, I will be 19 yrs old, so I am graduating college three years ahead of schedule. My GPA is floating between a 3.4-3.5. I have not taken the GMAT, but I plan to take it after serious preparation. My degree is in Economics.

Here is my current game plan:
-Take the GMAT and do very well
-Figure it is possible because I can prepare and take the GMAT during my final semester at UD.
-I have already taken the GRE (500V, 750Q) and LSAT (163) w/o any preparation. I know if I put in the effort for the GMAT, I can pull a 700+ (not cocky, but a confident statement from my prior results).

-Find a good job and work for 3/4 yrs while working my ass off to get every available promotion (even it needs 60+ hr weeks).

If I can do the above (720-750 w/ 3 or 4 yrs of solid work experience) with my 3.4-3.5 GPA, could the following schools be a possibility?

-HBS
-Wharton
-Tuck
-Sloan
-Columbia
-Stern
-Yale
-McCombs (thinking about moving to Dallas in the long run)
-SMU (see McCombs)
-UMD-Smith (MD resident, in state tuition)

I am interested in Management, Finance, and somewhat Entrepaneurial studies, that is why I haven't set my sights on certain schools.
What extracurriculars should I get involved with?

If things go as planned you would have a competitive profile for all the above schools. You should get involved in extra-curricular activities that you enjoy and that will allow you to assume leadership roles.

Good luck!
