Admissions committees evaluate the GMAT/GRE in context — your background, your representation in the applicant pool, the strength of everything else in your file. The same score works for one candidate and falls short for another with identical numbers.

I'm currently in the process of deciding between a couple schools. I've been admitted into Cornell (Johnson), Katz (University of Pittsburgh), a joke MBA school, and have been offered an interview at Babson (UW) that I'll likely not do. My situation is very very strange.
Basically, I'm a future medical student who has a set for 2015 only. I am graduating at the end of this year, and have a year in between where I am contractually required to continue schooling (which is why I could only apply to 1 year programs).
I am in love with Cornell and its program. The professors seem amazing, and the healthcare focus seems like it would be very beneficial. There are a couple complications, however, including cost and other things, that have led me to the conclusion that right now, a Cornell MBA is probably not the best option for me.
Here is my question. If I decide to go to the joke MBA school, where I'd be working full time on my startup and basically only getting the MBA to fulfill my contract, could I go back to Cornell eventually and reapply? Would I be a competitive applicant (assuming GMAT score of 700+ (might retake for a 750+ probably), an MD, and either a successful or failed startup under my belt) ? How do most top 10 schools feel about this? Would it differ if I didn't finish my MBA at the joke MBA school? I ultimately do want to go to a top 10 MBA school, but I think it might be best if this is done later. If I can't do this, I figure I might as well go to Upitt or babson.

Most schools, especially Top10, won't let you join their program if you already hold an MBA. You do have a shot for sure with work experience, MD etc. and you already know that you can make it into Johnson...
