I am currently a part-time MBA at a well-recognized Canadian business school. I also hold a doctorate (non-MD) and have been practicing as a healthcare provider for over 4 years, and also started my own business 2 years ago focusing on management services in the healthcare sector. Although I have valuable healthcare and entrepreneurial experience, and will soon hold an MBA, I come from an unconventional background. Will my background work against me or is there a certain way I should "market" myself in the eyes of the top dogs like McK, Bain, etc.. With these firms typically hiring the Harvard/stanford/Yale prototype, I'm not sure how well recieved my education/background will be in the eyes of the recruiter. Thanks, S. Hello,

I'm thinking about applying to an MBA thats hovering around the 20th best (UT, McCombs). Is this considered a target school for MBB etc? I dont want a 100K loan without knowing my chances of landing a job at a top 5 MC firm. Any info greatly appreciated! Thanks Hi Kevin,

I assume this means Harvard, Chicago, Northwestern, but can you be more specific about what this means? The top 10? The top 25?

I am currently still in a junior college (or High School) in Singapore to do my Cambridge A-Levels. I am originally from Germany, where I will most probably continue university studies after my A-Levels. Is there still a chance to become a business consultant? Can you suggest any University in Germany, or do you know any source where I can gather information on that issue? Thank you in advance, Fyn Hello Kevin,
