Getting into PE directly out of business school is tough to do without already having IB or PE experience. I would suggest that you take some time to research career paths to PE to make sure what you set forth in your goals is acheivable.

If you value action based learning, I encourage you to take a look at UCLA Anderson.

Wishing you all the best.
