What issues do you see in our current healthcare system? How do you plan on addressing them? I think after answering those, it might be a little clearer if #1 or #2 makes more sense

helpful

is #1 too ambitious? is #2 too boring?

You could argue either way. No 1 is a cooler story but I suspect an adcom who’s ultra-conservative can view it as a problem if they are thinking from a perspective of your ‘employability’. Schools are quite particular about their grads getting jobs after. No 2 is not as cool but is obviously a safer bet. I might be wrong but that’s what I feel.

i guess that’s what i’m asking about #2 - is it a safer bet? i’m worried the adcom might think about whether i really need an MBA to accomplish that goal

You could make #2 your short term post MBA goal, working to one day do #1

one school i’m applying to asks for a plan A and a plan B... so i said plan A was #1 and plan B would be to re-enter consulting with a broader perspective and skillset etc etc... does this sound ok?

I recently received an offer from a big 4 company. I am very happy with where I am currently working. I’m unsure if I should take it. I feel valued at my firm and I am not micromanaged. There are many benefits to staying however, it’s a big 4.. feels like a sin to turn it down.

The main reason I feel inclined to take it is for the name and the exposure. Can I have some thoughts on what you would do in this situation?
