- Consider joining the Berry Center Reading Group.
- Attend Berry Center events, both on and off-campus. They are a terrific way to network with alumni and distinguished visitors.
- Continue to participate in leadership roles with Enactus, CFG, Math Club or other campus organizations to which you belong. Leadership and service on campus translate to leadership and service after college in your community.
- Keep your grade up as you take higher-level courses. Your critical thinking, writing and math skills are important to the GMAT and MSF schools.
- Look for summer internships in your area of interest. Check with the Berry Center to see if part of your internship could be funded as a Berry Center Internship. If you are an exceptional student academic and leader, apply for a Cornell Fellowship.
