Hi everyone,
Just finished with my applications and need people to help me out with my eval since I am mighty nervous about my chances and the waiting period is just killing me
Citizenship UK
Undergrad chemistry Leeds BSc (GPA 3.7/distinction)
Postgrad USC Chem Engg (GPA 3.5)
MBA marketing Lancaster Uni (GPA 3.45/distinction)
GMAT 730 (balanced in both with a bit higher in English) AWA 6
GRE 1550/1600 (800 Math, 750 Verbal) 5.5 in Writing
Work ex: 2 years in Merck Pharmaceutics (research role) 6 months with a hydraulics manufacturer named Carlisle (managerial role)and now 3 months and presently working in Croda Yorkshire which is a chemical company (managerial role)
Extras: Average, played and qualified in everything but not really good enough to win. High point of obtaining MENSA ) but that actually has no real meaning
Recommenders ar excellence as I had done well and got recommended by the Dean and the Head of Department as well as my supervisor who holds a good professorial position
Research: Full time experience but in Chemistry/Pharmacy
Applied to
UK: Lancaster (talking to probable advisor), Aston(dinged since no research interest match), Exeter (no response from faculty yet)
USA: Carey,Kelley,Krannert,Marshall and Kenan Flagler
HK: HKU and HKUST
Till now accepted by Warwick (Phew!)
Want to know probable chances of me getting through some of the other schools and even usual decision times.
Sorry for the long write up, just wanted to get a very thorough opinion. Any help is extremely appreciated.
BTW I got the GMAT score after 1 month of study (all thanks to the forum and some delightfully helpful members) and Manhattan GMAT. They are good and can really predict a score. Thought I had a somewhat unfair advantage in giving the GRE first though since it kind of gave me a starting point.
