Application for semester at top tier school

Hey,

I'm currently enrolled in a MS in Management program at a top tier European university. The program is structured in three semesters, 2 spent at my university and one spent abroad. Therefore, I would like to apply for a non-degree program at top tier school (Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc.).

Anyway, I was wondering whether I should include that I would like to pursue an MBA in the future, or even consider doing a DBA/PhD? After having completed my master's I aim to start working at one of the MBBs (Bain, BCG, McK, etc.). However, I cannot tell if it would be worth it to go for an MBA with my background (BBA, MS in Management).

Actually, it does not really matter what I going to do eventually (MBA, PhD, or neither of both). I'm only interested in your opinion what these schools usually prefer.

Thanks in advance!
