Hello, thank you so much
Black/Hispanic mix
GMAT: 780
College GPA (biology): 3.1
Master's in biology GPA: 3.4
Age: 27
5 research (medical, biology) publications
STORY: I had cancer in college, close to dying, which motivated me to go into biology and do research. Volunteered a lot in research labs, and got name on 5 publications. Did master's in biology. Work as research assistant (which is sort of like a lab technician on paper).
HOWEVER: I realized that I was not contributing to society as much by doing this sort of research. I feel that I can accomplish more by getting an MBA and going into Pharma industry or public policy/advocacy. Am very motivated to help develop new treatment. Being so close to death, and with the probability of recurrence, I realized that my time in the world is very limited, and want to maximize my impact.
what are my chances for M7? Thank you!
EDIT: I have also done web development on the side for the past 5 years.

Hi,
Congrats on the amazing GMAT, and I admire all that you have had to overcome and deal with, congrats on that as well and glad you are doing well these days. The main part I'm not clear on is your professional path/work experience; perhaps a resume review would help (we do offer free 30 min consultations including resume review at www.mbamission.com/consult if interested at any point). I also don't know if you have other community involvement, past or present, though of course I realize you were managing your own healthcare for quite some time so if not it is understandable, but that can be a factor too. Keep us posted!

Hi thanks so much for that help. I've volunteered mostly in prison ministries. If I work full time this year, I will have close to 2 years of FT experience. Trouble is, I have lots of part-time experience, but little full-time. I think that is going to hurt be a lot, I wonder if I have a chance for M7 this cycle?
