Hi Mr. Engineering Doctor, this is Kristen from MBA Prep School. As a former adcom at MIT Sloan, I have encountered a number of medical student applicants and have to say I am very impressed with your profile. Academically you have some strong school reputations backing you up, which will really help when it comes to HBS, Stanford, and Wharton. You not only have achieved a solid GPA in a challenging major and been admitted to medical school on a full scholarship, but you also have a very strong 740 GMAT. Your gap year scholarship is also a nice differentiator. I’m trying to work out the timeline on your role as a research analyst; is this what you spent time doing between undergrad and medical …

Hi Mr. Engineering Doctor, this is Kristen from MBA Prep School. As a former adcom at MIT Sloan, I have encountered a number of medical student applicants and have to say I am very impressed with your profile. Academically you have some strong school reputations backing you up, which will really help when it comes to HBS, Stanford, and Wharton. You not only have achieved a solid GPA in a challenging major and been admitted to medical school on a full scholarship, but you also have a very strong 740 GMAT. Your gap year scholarship is also a nice differentiator. I’m trying to work out the timeline on your role as a research analyst; is this what you spent time doing between undergrad and medical school, or something you are doing pre-residency. I do think it provides another nice differentiator among other medical students; I often find that it can be hard for them to showcase competencies like leadership or questioning the status quo in a clinical setting so having some industry-related work experience should allow you a broader set of examples to highlight. What I like most of all is your very well thought out career plan. Another issue I encountered with medical student applicants was that they wanted to pursue an MBA because they were lost. They weren’t sure if they really wanted to practice or not and saw the MBA as a way to temporarily step away from residency to figure things out. This uncertainty does not build confidence in the eyes of admissions officers, but you clearly have a sense of the bigger impact you would like to make. One other question I have about your profile is around community engagement; were you active on campus in undergrad, do you volunteer now? Stanford especially would be interested in how you are already working to solve some of the issues within healthcare that you see. This would be a nice enhancement to your already strong background. I think you have good odds if you can demonstrate those leadership qualities and a passion for (and track record of) making improvements. Please feel free to reach out for a complimentary consultation if you would like to chat further!
