Long time lurker, I'm a rising MS1 who will be attending a top 25 med school in midwest that has a MBA program but is not well-ranked (not in top 50), attended top 3 (HYP) undergrad. As of right now, I'm interested in surgical specialties and potentially VC/consulting one day (did IB internship during undergrad before switching to medicine).
I have read that NW, Emory, Cornell offer a 1-year MBA, but I don't want to limit myself to 3 schools. Is it possible to do a traditional 2-year MBA at a top 15 b-school at a diff institution between MS3/4? Have considered saving MBA for residency, but I think that's wishful thinking (I'd need to match at the right school/area, and for many competitive time-consuming specialties I don't think there'd be enough time). Do these schools still view MD candidates favorably, especially more and more of their home institution MD candidates are applying into dual MD/MBA nowadays?
