I am somewhat biased given that I am a current Sloanie, but concerning Pharma, it is very hard to beat our Cambridge location.

The school places well in Pharma & BioTech and we have all the big companies (Novartis, Pfizer, Bayer, Biogen etc.) around the corner.
Happy to share more context around pharma-focused classes, recruiting options etc. in a quick zoom call if helpful.

Cheers,
Chris

Oh my word. You’re not making my job easy with these kinds of decisions 😂

I would shortlist to K, B, and Sloan. Maybe…. I don’t see how Ross Yale or Stern will trump these. Then I would enroll in all 3 😂

Thanks Arro44! I would love to learn more about your experience at Sloan and the pharma opportunities offered - will DM you.

Haha thanks bb! I was not expecting to have to choose between such fantastic programs...a good problem to have though! I wish I could enroll in all of them, but unfortunately I have a difficult decision ahead of me :idk:

I wish you could start some kind of an auction for schools to bid/compete for you.

On a serious note, perhaps there is an opportunity to not only choose but perhaps inquire if there are any $$ available. There is no downside. The AdCom team is pretty big so it is not like you will get a black mark on your name. Have you tried/considered this path? I am not suggesting it to be opportunistic but to help with the decision.... 😇

This is a good suggestion. Especially if there is nothing to lose and only everything to gain if it works, why not try? I'll reach out to the schools and see what they can offer. Thank you bb!

Oh sure. I just talk to another admit in similar boat and her challenges that she did get some scholarships from schools but they were all very similar. And it’s kind of tricky and annoying to go back asking for scholarships when you already got some so your situation is potentially better … 🤷‍♂️ Never thought I would say not having a scholarship would make a situation better but here I am 😂
