Hey all,
I have just left medical school as I realized it was not for me. I am interested in doing an MBA but never thought about business before. I have an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences and several years of sales experience as well as 1.5 years of experience managing a gym. The problem is all of this work was when I was a teenager. I was a gym manager at 15 and the one MBA admissions official I spoke with so far thinks I am full of shit. (The business no longer exists and I have no idea where my former boss, the owner, is).
So any advice you can give me would be great. Also, as for the GMAT what prep materials should I use? I would like to study on my own. I keep seeing mention of OG. What does OG mean? Where and how do I buy it?
Thanks,
palmpalm
Eligability

You are going to have a difficult time getting into a top program without full time work experience and clear post-MBA goals. I would recommend that you do more research on possible career paths to be sure that the MBA is the right route for you. Two good guides to read are: "How to Get Into A Top MBA Program" by Montauk and "MBA Game Plan" by Bouknight.

Also, what Med school were you studying at?
If you do decide MBA is right for you, recommended GMAT guides are :
Manhattan GMAT books
OG (Official Guide to the GMAT -- 3 books, Official Guide for the whole test, OG for Verbal, OG for Quant)
Kaplan 800
Princeton Review Cracking the GMAT (this is a good place to start)
