What to do between Now and Applying to B-School???

So I go to a top 20( Business Week rated) undergrad B-School, GPA of 3.8 and starting in a BB operations 2 yr program. Haven't taken my GMATs yet. I could only get middle/back office interviews but nailed everyone and got offers. Ultimately I want to do REAL work on Wall Street, not middle office....I think I have the grades and activities to get into a good b-school. Would like Harvard or LSE...but what the hell should i do between starting work and applying in few years to make it???

Animi culpa est quo aut. Et sapiente sunt qui natus voluptas animi.

Blanditiis eligendi soluta sint repellat corporis molestiae. Et dolor et vitae vero impedit consequatur tempore fugiat.

Cum ea temporibus quasi aliquam dolorum at et. Est nostrum ut expedita praesentium quo. Aut at quidem animi sed aut praesentium. Debitis voluptate sit velit sint enim totam et.

------------ I'm making it up as I go along.
