Two year program in PE - when to start preparing for B-School, and when to start recruiting?

I am about to start my first year in PE. I was curious about when people typically start preparing for business school (i.e. studying for GMAT, hiring a consultant, etc.). In the case I wanted to skip the B-School route, when do I start recruiting for a post-two year role?

Thanks in advance

 

You're welcome - happy to provide a recommendation if you would like to PM me (someone who is top notch, very involved, and has an outstanding track record, but does not advertise).

He is not my consultant but rather the consultant of someone close to me; I chose very poorly (my consultant was a waste of $XX,000) and I am very envious of the person receiving the services of the consultant I would recommend.
