    Summary of Application Experience

    Okay, so I took some time off after undergrad to pursue some other interests and decide if medicine was for me. I also needed some time to strengthem the application.

    Surprisingly, having an MBA has not really hindered my chances of acceptance. That being said, I really had to demonstrate that I am not entering the profession for money... It was an easy sell considering my job prospects out of business school...

    I will update more as I have time...

    PS. As much as I would like to include the name of my undergrad, it's so small that I can't (without giving everyone I know all of my stats).
