Whats up?
I've been coming here a great deal and reading a lot of the posts, I think this is a great place to ask opinions of others. I've been headed to medical school since I was 5 yrs old, there isn't another profession that I could even consider doing. My degree is in biochem from St. Edwards University in Austin, TX. After graduation, I decided to not pursue medical school yet, the main deterent was my GPA, a measly 3.12 due to outside interference such as family problems and health. My mother became very ill during my undergraduate years, and I was forced to get a job, work and help support her and my sister. Anyways, it has made me a much tougher and stronger person. After graduation I applied to the graduate program at University of St. Thomas to get my MBA. I am ontrack to finish in 1.5yrs, hopefully December 2003. My question is, how many people have gone on to get an MBA and go to medical school afterwards. I am doing the MBA because I never had any business classes in undergrad, and my cousin who is a neurosurgeon said that it would be in my best interest to get an MBA, as he is pursuing his currently. What kind of advice, or words of wisdom could you folks send my way. I'd like to know if MBA would aid in my application to medical school. Thanks for your help in advance, and good luck to all!
