Dear admission consultant your advice would be very helpful and also if you can provide me a methodology to tackle the score and henceforth improve my chances for admission!!

Hello and sorry for the delay in responding --have been very busy w/ paying clients (including one in India!).

But on to your question...

But, i m confused regarding my candidature for these schools.
I haven't seen any medicos being listed in the general MBA program class profile (i do not want to go into health care focused program as i want to get the flexibility of a general MBA program and combine it with my professional experience.)
Kindly help me out in this dilemma..[/list]

There is a LONG tradition of physicians going to business school. Some come out into something that is not medicine related and some go into hospital administration or public health type stuff.

I would NOT be discouraged or concerned by the fact that MDs are not listed in the typical class profiles. There just aren't enough of them. But, small numbers do not mean that the path that you are proposing is not a well-trod one.

In terms of your GMAT score, a 640 is far from ideal but I would be sure to remember that you have a very good (more accurately, an outstanding) quant score. You are probably fluent in English but there is also a good chance that you don't have much formal training in grammar / syntax and may not have had much preparation in critical reading, etc.

You are certainly a candidate at the programs that you are talking about though, as you mention, something of a wildcard. I think that if I were you I would expand my list to include some schools that are still very good but not quite as prestigious. Indiana and UNC - Chapel Hill both come to mind.
