MM IB -> B-school?

I am a rising senior at an Ivy with a near 4.0 GPA and will work at an MM IB this summer. I will try to get a job at a BB or EB full time but, if I don't, was wondering what my chances would be for business school after 2 years as an analyst, or maybe wait until I'm an associate (not sure when people usually apply).

My GMAT would be around 760-780 probably (my baseline with no studying is 710 right now, so hopefully can get that up at least 50 points with intensive studying over next few months).

Will I get into HBS?

Hi city_of_dis, the silence is deafening, sorry about that.... Any of the threads below helpful?

No promises, but maybe one of our professional members will share their wisdom: Vdavida Nabo @THE PsYcHoLoGy"

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
