Hi All
Thanks in advance for taking the time to look at this post, and apologies in advance for how vague it may seem.
Im currently a Doctor in the UK, i am in my first year of work, and would be looking to apply to MBA programs in 2016, at which point i would have 2 years of work experience. I understand that often additional years are required and i just wanted some advice as to whether with my background this would be sufficient.
In terms of background, i studied medicine at Kings College London, and also did a BSc in management at Imperial College London, in which i scored a high 2:1 (69%)
I have always been interested in business and have co-founded a fine foods company currently selling across a number of stores in the UK. I have been involved in this four 4 years, from manufacturing, branding to pitching to business angels. I have also started a small charity and run a number of events towards this, as well as been involved in number of operational audits involved in streamlining hospital waiting times, which i have published and presented nationally.
On the social side i am president of the hospitals social society, and captain of the local squash club.
I hope following my MBA to move toward a career in strategic consultancy.
Given the above would i have any shot at an MBA at somewhere such as LBS. I would have about 1 year to prepare for the GMAT as well as polish the CV.
Thanks in advance for the help

I think you would. You would have some questions to address - such as why you are doing so many things at the same time and how would an MBA help you. Otherwise you have a very interesting profile.
PS. Not sure how old you are but past 30 in the US and past 35 in UK it is hard to get in an MBA program.

Thank you very much for the response
With regards to age I am 24 so that should hopefully not pose any issue, and with regards to why I am doing multiple things; throughout my medical degree though i thoroughly enjoyed the topic, i had always been fascinated by entrepreneurship. During my BSc at Imperial (which is a one year course you can take whilst studying medicine) i and the opportunity to get involved in a startup, and decided to pursue that alongside medicine.
On commencing by actual medical job, again though i have very much enjoyed it, it is not something i see myself doing lifelong, and though i could work full-time on fine foods, i want to first get a thorough business grounding, and further to this, work for one of the major strategy firms, which i believe would be an invaluable experience prior to starting something of my own.
Would having only 2 years work experience be of any issue?
Thanks
