How to prep for an MBA application?
Hitting the desk soon as a first-year analyst, and want to get an MBA in around 4-5 years from now. What should I be doing to prepare for stuff that'll eventually go on my application outside of work-ex and GMAT?
Why I want an MBA: Basically for the networking, brand name (non-target undergrad), and a 2-year break, hoping to continue to work in Finance post-MBA
Background:
Major: Finance, part of honors college and honors business program - completed a senior honors project
GPA: ~3.90 from a non-target (4.00 in major)
Work Ex: 1st year IB analyst in a top coverage group that has placed people at H/S (only group at my bank that has sent people there) but I am targeting M7 so not H/S/W or bust
Future work exp. between now and enrollment: Not really interested in PE so probably won't interview on-cycle, for now the plan is to work in IB for the 4 years, get an MBA, and come back to IB
Leadership roles at University in various organizations
Multiple Honors also went to college on a full academic scholarship
My question is idk how or what I can do outside of work to show leadership just given the number of hours I will be working?
What can I do to prep for the MBA?

Why do you care about getting an MBA if you’re ultimately going to stay in IB? You already overcame your non target background, no need to prove anything to anyone including yourself.
