<p>You won’t get into a top MBA program without more experience. What would really convince an MBA program of that caliber to take you is if you actually pursue the dream you have of starting such a treatment center. If after 5 years you’re successful, you may not want to leave to get an MBA, but if you do, you’ll have a tremendous story to tell and a lot more credibility.</p>
<p>Another approach would be to take a management position in a treatment center, learn the ropes for a year or two, start your own, and then try for the MBA.</p>
<p>You see where I am going with this. Now you’re a talented person with a good record, but you don’t have what it takes to get into a top MBA program. Top programs want to know you have the managerial moxy and they want to know you’ll be really hireable after you get out.</p>
<p>Also, if you want to do something health care related, look at the schools that are part of this alliance:</p>
<p>[B-Schools</a> Form Health Care Alliance - BusinessWeek](<a href=“Bloomberg - Are you a robot?”>Bloomberg - Are you a robot?)</p>
<p>My personal favorites as founding members in the alliance:</p>
<p>Wharton
Haas/Berkeley
Harvard</p>
<p>The fact that they have dedicated health care foci and that’s what you want to focus on will help you, if you get good experience under your belt.</p>
