Help a C/O 2020 Stanford student figure it out

[DaBosss23]

Hello all,

I have recently decided to study at Stanford (have not officially committed however) and I am essentially lost in terms of career decisions. I want to eventually be a Hospital CEO at a large, non-profit hospital, but I am unsure of how this can be accomplished. Would Stanford (Hum Bio + Econ) give me a leg up in hospital administration, or would Wharton's Health Management program do so? (I was admitted there too, money is not an issue at either location)

I also have a multitude of other questions:
1) Should I enter consulting straight out of undergrad? Or should I go directly into hospital administration?
2) What is pay like for a student straight out of a prestigious undergrad in hospital admin?
3) Are there any hospital CEOs/COOs/CFOs that can give me advice on how to reach the top?


I very much appreciate all the input. Please do not respond in an insulting manner, all useful advice is appreciated. Thanks very much!

Dude, be patient. This is an unusual question, and not many people (including myself) know the answer. If you absolutely need to know now, I would try asking on the Medical Business board (Here) and see if they have any insight.
