@StaphyBone pretty much nailed it.
Only additional thing I will stress is to get involved in your business school. Join clubs, attend school held events and try to meet as many people as you can. Relationships you foster in university will carry with you throughout your career and will be just as important/if not more, than the knowledge you learn in school.
Didn't know anyone posted. Thank you both for offering advice. I will definitely keep these facts in mind when I start.
