Haha, now I wonder. One of the reasons why I applied to the Wharton HCM was because I thought I could leverage my career background in the pharma industry and boost my acceptance chances. From this thread I get an impression that it was the stupidest move, should have applied to normal MBA and would have been fine :twisted: Not that I am not fine now :lol:

In reading the resume book a bit more closely, I have fewer doubts than I did a few day back. I think that my background in health IT is pretty unique - after all, all the HCM folks can't be from pharma/banking companies. Plus, I think that given my background has a consistent healthcare-field trend (even going back to early college internships), I'd be doing myself more harm and coming off inconsistent if I don't apply to HCM at Wharton and just apply to Wharton "regular".

Let's face it, getting into Wharton is a long shot anyways - if I can make a strong case for why HCM is a good fit for me (and vice-versa), it can't make my chances any worse! :wink:

Cheerios,
ac.

Hello from the GMAT Club MBAbot!

Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).

Want to see all other topics I dig out? Follow me (click follow button on profile). You will receive a summary of all topics I bump in your profile area as well as via email.

Haha this was clearly my doing. Oops.

Isa, if you happen to be still around, it looks like you ended up choosing Kellogg. Care to comment on their HEMA program?

Hmm I dont think he is. But, nice find anyhow :)

Although my opinion would not be as insightful as someone who is in Kellogg, I'd say HEMA is pretty good. I did some research for my applications (talked to faculty, students etc.) and I think, Kellogg's HEMA is right up there in the top-5 healthcare programs - academically, plenty of options and pretty good recruitment opportunities as well.

Would you care to comment on what the top-5 healthcare programs are? Thanks!

That's a tough one. Also, it really depends on what your background is and what you want to do. A list of best schools for healthcare entrepreneurship would look different, for going into PE/VC industry would be different and so forth.

In particular, Wharton, Duke, Haas, Kellogg, HBS and Stanford all have great healthcare concentrations, dual degree or certificate programs. MIT Sloan has launched a healthcare certificate program this year as well. Tuck had its first two graduates this year from their dual degree program. Yale has an executive program in healthcare. Among the lower ranked schools, I would look at UNC and the likes.

From my research, I've found top healthcare programs to include Wharton, Duke, Columbia and Kellogg.

I'm not familiar with Stanford's healthcare program. Does anyone have experience with this?
