Thanks for sharing your profile.

You have strong points in your background, including international exposure, and experiences across banking/finance. You would need to craft your application to provide a convincing rationale for your career moves, especially between finance and medicine. You would need to show how an MBA at your target program is the right step towards melding your two passions, and lead to realistic and worthwhile goal of a leading finance role in a hospital provider. Doing your research to identify what you need to gain, what is offered at your target schools, and the realistic roles for you post-MBA is very important. Communicating these in the essays will be critical, and will greatly affect your chances at your target schools.

Wish you all the best!

hello - sorry for the confusion, I meant that I was admitted to med school, but I didn't actually study the course. Is this how you understand my message already?

so I still need to address why i want to go into hospital management right?

thank you
Evelyn

Hi Evelyn,

No worries. Yes, you would need to share your personal motivation for your interest in going to hospital management, while showing what you can leverage from your background and what you can gain from you MBA towards this goal.

All the best!

can you comment on my chances at my target schools? LBS, INSEAD, Kellogg etc.

VeritasPrepEdison · Answer

Your academics and GMAT (+CFA) gives you a reasonable chance, but they are not differentiators to these top schools, as many qualified applicants would have similar stats.

Crafting your applications to show the need for an MBA, and how the specifics of the target program will match your profile and post-MBA goal would help demonstrate interest and fit with the program. You will need to research on the specific opportunities for your desired roles in SEA, and verify both the transferable skills/knowledge you can leverage and the gaps that you need to fill (and match this with the MBA programs).

Articulating your personal motivations and substantiating them with your past experiences would also help differentiate your profile. Allowing the readers to follow your thought process, and understand your personal story will go a long way in boosting your chances.

Wish you all the best!
