Year and a half before starting MBA; How to prepare for hirability?

If you were a year and a half from starting an MBA program, what would you do from this far out? Are there skills I should start learning? I want to make myself as hirable as possible for McKinsey / Bain.

Hell...I'd travel if I weren't working. Assuming you have the funds, go backpack around the world. Bring some essentials, an iPad to "study" and experience different cultures. It's something you won't be able to do later anyways. Plus it makes for an interesting conversation starter. People that I network with always love to talk about their travels.

Dolorem dolores ratione asperiores ipsa non eaque repudiandae. Cupiditate est voluptatibus natus ut nihil voluptatem. Molestiae placeat et alias sunt reiciendis aliquid.

Eum nesciunt placeat vel hic quo. Incidunt deleniti quis eum ea amet est blanditiis. Earum molestiae molestiae aut tenetur ea ut. Et amet voluptatum ipsam cumque rem. Ut numquam labore voluptatibus modi quod est quis ut. Quas aut numquam quo est magnam autem. Ad omnis nostrum doloremque autem placeat.
