Work Experience: Currently completing my second year of medical training, prior to starting an MBA in 2017, I will have 3 years of medical work. Currently based in one of the leading university hospitals in England. Involved in management aspect of the hospital: audits to streamline waiting times, and to alter the efficiency of nurse based training: presented at a regional leadership conference. Heavily involved in the British Medical Assosciation, represent my hospital, and involved in negotiating process of junior doctor contracts. Due to undertake work experience with senior NHS managers to better understand the process.
Co-founded a fine foods company, selling across a number of stores in the UK. I have been involved in to manufacturing, branding to pitching to business angels. Started initially as a simple idea following my BSc but has seen significant growth in the past 1 year. I have always had a passion for entrepreneurship, and this represents my family background.
Involved in major Indian charity, and responsible for bringing this across to the UK - it is a major organisation in India, connecting high net work companies into social projects. I have just begun my involvement, but hope this should be significant by applications next year.
ECC: Social president at the hospital. Captain of local squash club
Essays: I am fairly confident in this area, and will ensure i spend adequate time to produce a strong response
Recommendation: Should be fairly strong
Post MBA Plans: strategic consultancy ideally at MBB, with a focus on healthcare.
GMAT: not yet taken, however i will be aiming for 700 +, ideally higher with significant preparation time.
I understand that the schools i am applying for are highly competitive, however I just wanted to gauge a better understanding of my chances. As well as whether there would by any shot at the top US programs: Harvard, Stanford, Wharton.
Thank you for taking the time, i truly appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing your background. Your university performance is a bit on the low end of the scale for your target schools. And without a GMAT, it's difficult to project where you stand. I will say that for the schools you're targeting, you definitely want to break 700. For top schools in the US, you'll want to aim for 730 or above to give yourself a decent shot. Assuming you're able to handle the GMAT, the main questions about your candidacy will be your work experience. Not that your career thus far as a doctor will discredited, but more so that it's not the same type of culture or environment you would see at a Fortune 500 corporation or a consulting firm for that matter. To clarify, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just means that you should aim to highlight experiences that will resonate with the AdComm - leadership experiences, problem solving skills, conflict resolution, teamwork, and others. Another interesting aspect of your profile is your food company. To truly understand its significance, I'll need to know a bit more about the company. What is its size and scope? What do you mean by signifiant growth? Being a side business, how much time do you actually spend (10%? 40% of your time?).
