Prepping for MBA: Post-grad EC's

Hey everyone, I'm an incoming analyst at a LMM IB in a tier 1/2 city. I believe that an MBA will be useful and I'm wondering what activities I should plan on participating in to bolster my resume for an M7-caliber MBA app. Additionally, for those who have gone through the process, how did you find the time to participate in orgs/non-profits during your analyst stint? 

Thanks!

wasn’t an analyst when i was preparing for bschool but did have a slightly demanding job. there’s a lot of opportunities that sound amazing on paper and are very low time commitment - like being on the junior advisory board of a non profit. those meet maybe once a month and even pre-covid you can typically call in instead of attending in person. also a lot of remote volunteer opportunities, especially in COVID era.
