What experience should I do

Hi there - I am an undergrad engineer and I am writing to inquire about what work should I do to get into a good MBA program to open doors for MBB Middle East offices.

I don’t want to go into details, but joining MBB, OW, S&, or Kearney now is unachievable.

My question is, what work would you recommend me to do pre-MBA to increase the chances of joining the top MBA programs? Is it possible to work as an engineer and got admitted to top MBA programs?

I appreciate your time!
