Someone please help me out and give me an honest opinion about my chances of getting accepted into Oxford for MBA. It has always been my dream to study there, and soon I’ll be applying for the 2025 intake. I decided to take the leap and transition from a traditional medical career to MBA with hopes to pursue business consultancy in the healthcare field.
I haven’t taken the GMAT yet, but have some pertinent details about my current care regardless.
Background on me: I'm currently a working medical student at the top university in my country (300+ world rank) (SE Asia), with 5 years work experience in sales and operations for a healthcare firm. Also have 2 years experience as a freelance tutor with 1000+ students. Havent taken the GMAT but I'm aiming for a 700+ score especially since I used to be a tutor for a similar kind of exam here. In that similar exam (for med school admission), I scored in the 99+th percentile so I’m quite confident I can achieve my desired score. Kind of unsure how i'll spin the whole med school story in my applications essay, but suffice to say I think I'll be an interesting candidate given the background. I’ll also be a licensed doctor by the time I’ll be applying.
Demographics: 25F Asian (Filipino-Chinese)
Undergrad BS Biology spec. Biomedical research
Postgrad Doctor of Medicine (MD)
GMAT SCORE: taking in May, hoping for a 700+
Undergrad GPA: 2.876
Graduate/med school GPA: 3.16
Extracurriculars: Student council, Red cross volunteer, environmental organizations, marketing head for several campus orgs, congress and UN, co-authored a resolution passed into law in my country, socmed influencer (lmao)
I know it's a minus to not have worked for a big firm, but I dont know about the stance Oxford MBA has for students with graduate degrees and/or doctors. Another thing I'm worried about its that I've only received one promotion during my work. Any advice would be super duper very much appreciated! uwu
