I'm a podiatrist. I'm looking to apply to good program with a focus on healthcare.
I have not taking the GMAT. I'm thinking about taking the Executive Assessment test. My GPA is pretty low
UG GPA - 2.4
DPM ( Doctor of Podiatric Medicine) GPA - 2.47
WE (in podiatry) - 3 years of residency and 3 years as an attending.
I'm 37
Hello, Kellogg is probably the best school for HC that does not require a GMAT - followed by MIT (which, despite halo effect, isn't yet a high ranked emba program.) Wharton would be the best one that does. Yale does require a GMAT, and is also good, but less so.
Re: GMAT, it might not be a bad idea, if you have time, because you really need to demonstrate your academic abilities. It is a concern that your GPA in both cases was so low, and they will be worried about your ability to keep up. If you are opposed to the GMAT, at the bare minimum do MBAMath.com : they send the transcripts directly to the schools and it is generally considered proof of academic aptitude.
Why, do you think, your grades were poor in both cases? Do you have any other evidence of academic aptitude?
