GMAT : 750 (Q50,V41)

Work experience: 11 yrs in IT consulting for clients in healthcare reimbursement space

Undergraduate: IIT (top Engineering school in India)

Target programs in order of preference:
Wharton EMBA
Haas EWMBA
Duke Full-time MBA in HCM
Columbia EMBA

is it advisable to write goals essay in my apps about switching from healthcare IT to healthcare private equity, provided i don't have any PE/IB experience and i will be 36 yrs old when i will finish my MBA. Will that be an unrealistic goal and might hamper my chances of admission?

Hi a.amitgarg,

Thanks for writing in. Given your extensive experience I think you're on the right track targeting EMBA programs. However EMBA candidates are typically those looking to stay in their field and need the learning to grow further, rather than career switchers. For that reason I would position your application around staying in health care.

Best of luck,

Daniel, thanks for your reply. Quick question.. is it ok to spin my goal essay around switching from healthcare IT to healthcare PE. Though the industry is same - Healthcare but i am looking for a function shift from IT to Private equity. Is that kind of story advisable to write in the goals essay of these top part-time programs?

Hi again,

Yes I think you can write that goal, but you want to frame it as an extension of your current work, rather than a brand new career path.

Best of luck,
