Hi,
I am a 26 year old doctor.
- Indian citizen
- Graduated from the University of Mauritius in 2008
I appeared for the GMAT in July 2010 and scored a dismal 640. Prepared for a couple of months and this time, was shocked to see a 630!
However, I decided to go ahead and apply to LBS, Oxford and INSEAD but was dinged by all.
Now, my present profile is:
Have 4 years of experience as of now, which would almost be 5 years by the fall of 2013.
Work experience consists of working in a government hospital in India for 1 year, followed by working as a medical officer at a medical centre run by my family for 1.5 year
Next, I've been working as a Resident in clinical radiology at a government hospital in Mauritius since August 2011. This is basically a training post.
Why do I want an MBA?
I realised that I have an entrepreneurial mind when I jumped into book publishing and website developing businesses during high school. These businesses lasted for almost a year and had to be shut down when I went to attend medical school.
Now I want to establish a telemedicine venture that would cater to the under served population of sub saharan Africa. I wish to acquire the necessary set of skills to establish and run this venture by attending a Business School.
Apart from this, I do have a history of innovative initiatives that I took during my work experience, such as setting up a virtual consultancy facility for patients who came to consult my father from far off places, free medical camps, etc.
Acads aren't very astounding. Got 59.8% overall in my graduation. But that's one of the highest one scores at medical school anyway.
I'm contemplating on applying to the LBS this year again but I don't really think I have time to re take the GMAT.
Could you please guide me on whether it is feasible to take a shot with the details that I've mentioned above?
Thanks
Regards
