College freshman in engineering
Here is the link to the page:

I was wondering what the class profile for this looks like (GPA/experience/EC's/GMAT etc.)? How can I position myself to attempt admission into this program?
I am somewhat opposed to doing research at this point, but if it is a good idea, I should be able to get into it.
Thanks.

seriously, I would guess like a 3.8 gpa, 780 gmat, and running a small non-profit business that effects like 10,000 orphans in Guatemala
going straight through to any MBA program, Harvard/Stanford/Wharton inclusive, is a bad idea.
I agree. It's only really a good idea if you can do it for free (i.e. you win a scholarship). Otherwise, you need to work for a few years before doing an MBA. The only program I like is HBS 2+2. They admit you to the MBA program in your senior year, then help you land what is sure to be an excellent job where you work for 2 years before returning to b-school.
Going straight to b-school is a bit ridiculous. Are you going to start as an associate? Probably not. And you only get one round of FT recruiting. You have no experience when you start, but have an MBA. I doubt you can screen for analyst programs, and you don't have the experience for associate programs. And you're not going to jump straight to a post-MBA position at a PE shop. There is a very good reason those positions require a specific pedigree (not the least of which is the fact that 2 years in IB + 2 years in pre-MBA megafund proves you can work your ass off--when that's 95% of your job, that's important).
On a side note, bankers know almost nothing about finance. I piss on M&A.

Why wouldn't you be able to get in as an associate? Most associates start without any banking experience...
I am not interested in purely finance. Mostly I am interested in an MBA at some point in my life and I was just curious of the caliber needed for this program; if I end up being competitive come senior year, I may or may not do it, but the option will be there.
I do understand the complications and caveats of earning an MBA early; however, this program sounds like it is for college seniors who have "pseudo work experience".
I met a college senior --> stanford mba when I went to one of their information sessions. She was Iranian, and clearly a member of the country's elite. I recommend getting a couple of years work experience. You'll enjoy your MBA experience more and have a better shot at admission.
