You seem to have a good profile.
You just need to articulate why you want an MBA rather than staying in your current field/position. And also why an MBA at Harvard/LBS because you should be able to get into pharm-management with Top 20-30 MBA.

Hi kkma2000, You have a very strong application. Your numbers certain indicate you have the aptitude and ability to do well in a top MBA program. My biggest concern is your work experience. Business schools, above all else, are looking to cultivate future leaders, so any leadership/management experience will be important to highlight. Your extracurricular activities are certainly something you can discuss in your personal essays. The schools you have listed are all fantastic. We have free schools specific advice here: Harvard: http://www.stacyblackman.com/business-s ... ss-school/Stanford: http://www.stacyblackman.com/business-s ... -business/LBS: http://www.stacyblackman.com/business-s ... ss-school/We also provide free 30 minute phone consultations here: http://www.stacyblackman.com/contact/Please let us know if there are any other questions we can answer.
