Hi I'm Abhishek from India.
I will have completed my Medicine by May 2010 . We are supposed to do an internship for an year before we are given our degree. I wish to know if my medical internship is considered as work experience?
I plan to give GMAT in Oct 2010.
I have 60% graduation percentage.
My class X- 83 %
Intermediate -(pre med school) - 94 %
My extra circular background is as follows.
Organizing college events , participating in debates, Part of College based community development organization for 3 years . Currently the treasurer of internship association. Conducted several blood donation programs, pulse polio immunization programs. Worked for the HIV/AIDS awareness programs. Represented my college in Tennis in Inter college competitions.
Also worked part time for a Multi-level Marketing(MLM Akin to Amway) company for 3 months in 2nd year.
Plan to work as an administrator in my father's hospital after my internship.
I wish to apply for 2011 August admissions in the USA. I have heard many schools in the US look for diversity amongst their students.
Do i stand a chance to get into the top 20 - 50 programs in the US with a good GMAT score?
The schools will certainly consider your internship. However, the question is how competitive in total your experience is going to be when compared to other applicants. Frankly it is weaker than many. At th same time, if you have a good GMAT score, I think you would have a chance in the top 20-50 programs. make the most of the organizational and business-related experience that you have had.
