I'm currently a healthcare consultant, meaning that I do consulting work only for healthcare systems. In looking at admission profiles, I noticed that the healthcare industry representation is much smaller (usually ~3-5%) at schools, while the consulting industry is more represented (15-20%). In classifying myself on the application, is it more beneficial to focus on myself as being in the smaller, healthcare population, or are my chances better in a larger represented background as consulting?

Even if you camouflage healthcare consulting, adcoms will discern it from your resume or other parts of the application. And if they find conflicting narratives, then it may just…
Having said that, if you belong to a minority group (here, industry-wise), it’s better. It’s relatively easier to stand out in a smaller applicant pool than in a large one such as that of consultants.

I agree with the above, just be authentic here do not try and overthink this here. State what you want to do. Most schools will ask you industry and function so you can cover it both ways
