I am a professional in the Pharmaceutical industry with 5 years of extensive experience. Academically, I hold a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) with a 55% score and a Master of Computer Applications (MCA) where I achieved over 75%. This blend of science and technology has given me a unique perspective on operations and data management within the pharma sector.

Currently, I am in the preparation phase for the GMAT and aiming for a competitive score to transition into a management role through an MBA. I am looking for a profile assessment to understand my chances at top business schools given my academic background and professional growth.

The goal to "transition into a management role through an MBA" is very generic and applies to every applicant. What's specific to you and why? Besides the strong GMAT score (to offset your weak GPA), you will need a clear narrative for this (and similar) question(s).
Prima facie, your goal of diversified financial services comes across as very odd. How do you plan to build a bridge that connects your past with your planned future? What evidence can you offer a recruiter in that domain?

Hi, you should always mention the nature of your job/function in your role in the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to that, since 5 years is a long time to be in one industry, you should also highlight how you have progressed in your career during this period.

These are the fundamentals of your profile that you must share, whether you are asking for a profile evaluation or presenting yourself to an adcom member. Should you want to discuss your profile one-to-one, feel free to reach out.

Best wishes
