Hello Everyone,

I would highly appreciate your suggestions in regard to the schools I should be targeting. I am an Indian Surgeon, Co-Founder of a Digital healthcare Startup, which works to improve oral cancer screening via telemedicine in Indian rural demography, and author of a multilingual poetry book. I am 28 years old, and have 4 years of work experience (3 years residency and 1 year entrepreneurship). My GMAT score is 710 and I am targeting next fall admissions. I want to work with Healthcare MNCs and consulting firms. So far, I have zeroed in on few schools, on the basis of my Linkedin conversations and online research, but, I am still far away from the final picture.

List : Harvard, MIT, Yale, Kellogg, Wharton, NYU, Duke, UNC Kenan Flagler, Rotman, and NUS.

In anticipation of your suggestions.
Dr Shaurya

I really like your background and I feel like the schools you are targeting will too. You are a little low on the GMAT for some of the top schools on your list but depending on your GPA that may be neglible. Also, given how unique your profile is and career interests I would take a crack at any of the schools with HBS obviously being the most difficult for you to crack.
