Trustee of an NGO (filling in my father's shoes) working in furthering female education in the state (candidates mostly from rural / backward areas) in the fields of medicine and nursing, and organising subsidised health camps. Worked in the same informally during college and started new training programs during the same period.

Education : CGPA 7.2 in Civil Eng, 10th 89, 12th - 78.
Extra curriculars : I speak four languages, am certified in music (Guitar) by Rockschool London and Indian Classical. Also into digital art and started a global scale (although small) business in the same.

Consider the following points randhir1:
Hope this helps you get the right direction.
Cheers,
- In general, most good GMAT based MBA programs expect 4-5 years of solid professional experience. So yes, gaining some more experience, especially that showcases some evidence of your post-MBA intent, will be good.
- It will also be good to develop more granularity and clarity on your post-MBA plans specifically.
- Certifications or something else would really depend on what you are planning to do and how the story comes together. Develop a solid plan for Profile Building to utilize the time effectively.
Hope this helps you get the right direction.
Cheers,

Thank you for your post! I would love to learn more about your background. We have had clients who work for family hospitals in the past and from my experience, the type of hospital and scope of work can impact chances of getting in. A few questions:
1) How large is the hospital? # of beds / revenue
2) Are you involved in any expansion plans, hiring of physicians etc?
3) What school did you go to for bachelors? I see the CGPA but not the school.
4) When are you planning to apply?
Overall I would recommend a bit more leadership outside of work but would want to customize the recommendations for you. Please let us know. You can also email details to [email protected] if you are looking for support.
Best,
