Hi there,

I'm an MD student (top 10 worldwide MD program) who took a few practice GMATs and scored 760, 740, 770, and 750 on the GMAT Prep 1, Veritas, GMAT Prep 2, and Kaplan free tests. I've never studied for the GMAT and did all of these under timed conditions. My verbal ranged from 42-48 and my quant was 49 or 50. I'm assuming I could score in the 760-780 range on a real GMAT if I studied. If I applied to business school, it would be after graduating medical school (so I'd have an MD degree) and after a few years of work in residency (junior physician).

Here's some info about me:

Stats: 4.00 undergrad GPA in biology from reasonably good school (non-USA, non-India). P/F grades in medical school. Would probably score 760-780 on GMAT based on practice scores and actually studying.

Work: Never worked at a company, but will be working at a hospital as a medical resident (essentially a junior physician) upon graduation. I'll probably have done this for 1-3 years prior to applying to an MBA. Will be leading teams including younger residents and medical students at various points during this time. The way it works, we'll be automatically promoted (Junior Resident to Senior Resident for example), but there's no possibility of "extra" promotions.

Extracurricular: Led multiple student governments through university and medical school and led a large mental health initiative at one. Volunteered at various places for multiple years, including summer camps for kids with disabilities, soup kitchens, sports coaching, etc. Started small charitable organization and won a couple related awards.

Diversity: Male, not from USA or India, would be 26-28 at application time depending on when I decide to do it.

I'm specifically looking to know my competitiveness at top schools (Harvard, Wharton, etc.). Thanks!

Hi biz139,

Thank you for your post and for sharing your profile. You have an impressive profile, and the quantitative aspect of your profile is highly competitive for the target institutions. As you know, however, a successful MBA applicant is one who shows strong human characteristics, and your story will need to be equally impressive. If you put the necessary time in the qualitative aspect of your MBA application, the odds should be in your favor. i hope this helps.

If you are interested in continuing the conversation, please feel free to reach out and schedule a free consultation (contact details in signature).

Good luck!
