why not try for pre-MBA PE right now?

Bump
...Anyone??
Your background doesn't sound too bad and depending on your UG GPA/GMAT you might be able to make it to Top10 mba. From there you can get to PE or an associate at BB rather easily
Haven't done the gmat yet, but I've been told I need at least 720. GPA is around 3.6-3.7ish.
...why not just take GMAT and see what happens? its good for five years anyway.
^ Yeah, that's the plan. Will be taking it in a month or so.
getting into PE from a lower top-10 school is almost impossible.

H/S/W and Chicago. those are the schools you need to get into if you want to stand a chance.
^ No Columbia? And what about some of the other schools like Sloan, Kellogg, and a bit lower on the ladder like Stern?
Sloan/Kellogg are not exactly known for their prowess in finance recruiting. I would throw Columbia onto that list (primarily because 1) it has pretty strong finance recruiting and 2) it benefits from location). Stern has a pretty good reputation for finance recruiting and obviously benefits from location as well. There are definitely a lot of post-MBA associates who come from Stern. However, I'd try for the higher ranked schools.
Why do you want to do PE?
Thanks HerSerendipity, I'll address your last question first. I want to do PE out of interest - I like the longer-term focus of PE (you follow your portco's after you've bought into it, so you can see if your original investment decision was wise/poor - learn from it, and see what the portco can do if growth or strategy doesn't go their way over time).
