Hi,
I agree with you regarding the GMAT. i have begun my prep for the GMAT and am targeting a 700+ score. There is very little information available online on the various healthcare oriented electives offered by various top MBA programs therefore it gets a bit confusing at times to figure out what schools i should look to target. I think i should be able to be done with the Test before by the middle of next year after spending 4-6 months prepping. I am working full time therefore cannot devote more then 2-3 hours a day on prep. I also need to brush up on my quant having not touched mathematics for so many years (almost 10 years) ....
Thanks a lot for your time and effort on answering my questions , it has cleared a lot of my doubts ..
When you are researching schools, what I would do is email student leaders of the "Healthcare Club" at the respective school. You can find their contact info on the school clubs website. They will of course answer questions about their own school, but they'll be able to give you good career advice.
And also I would try reaching out to the Career Services offices or Admissions offices of schools and ask to be connected with MBA alums who went into healthcare management. They will be happy to do that. (Tuck actually has a form you can fill out on their website to be connected with an "Alum Ambassador". You pick the industry and they will find someone.)
