Hello everyone,
I have been considering a career change from healthcare to business and I have a few questions, but let me give you a quick background.

I graduated with a BS in Chemistry (3.3 GPA)
Work as a medical assistant.
I have not taken the GMAT.


What steps should I take to improve my chances of getting into a well known b-school? Would getting an A.A. in business administration help?
Also, I have read that people should get their CFA before getting MBA, but this advice was given to students with a BS in BA (or to get CPA for accounting majors). Should I get CFA before MBA?
Is there any realistic chance of me getting into any of the top 30-50 B-schools?
Working as an MA involves administrative work, does that help my chances, or does it not play a factor?


Thanks for reading.
