Hi Joseph,

What are your goals? What are you hoping to gain from an MBA? You'll need to understand the answers to those questions before deciding on schools.

Your medical background might help if you are planning to work in a related field. If you are changing careers, it will be very important for you to identify some leadership, team work, management experience, etc that you gained from your work experience and apply that to your future goals.

Good luck!

Amy

hi Amy
thank you very much for your speedy response.

i was managing my dad's hospital.I am very much interested in stock market.I been trading commodity and stock for last 5 yrs.That was the genuine reason for me to pursue Mba finance.

How is the cost of doing Mba in top 5 collages.is it less expensive in other collages. Following Gmat to get in to business schools in us should i clear TOFFEL.
Thank you once again for your valuable suggestion

Hi saintz007,

Are you asking if a top 5 MBA is less expensive than at other schools? The short answer is no - but I would look at the individual schools for more information on tuition and fees.

Good luck!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
