Software Engineer to MBA Path

I am a rising junior at an Ivy doing Software Engineering for the summer. I don't particularly love coding all day and want to keep other options open (especially consulting since I just enjoy critical thinking and can talk to people).. What can I do to prepare for applying to a top MBA program down the road?
