Just accepted to top- MBA/ what now

I am an active duty Marine Corps officer who was just accepted to a T-15 MBA program (Columbia/ NYU/ Cornell). I plan on recruiting for IB at a BB this fall- ideally at GS/MS/JPM.

What steps should I be taking over the next 5 months prior to the start of school to ensure that I am most set up to succeed at both school and the recruiting process?

Will definitely be chilling out and celebrating this month- but also want to ensure that I’m ready to be successful this fall.

Thanks for the help!!!!!
