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!
