Hi Paul,
I am new to this forum but have found this forum extremely useful. Can you kindly evaluate my profile, greatly appreciated
I am planning to get into MBA program in 1 - 2 years time max.
I am a 24 year old Indonesian Chinese.
Came to Australia to do last year of high school, graduated with a BSc (Biochemistry) from the top university here (The Univ of Melbourne - first class honours; 86/100) and graduated with a Master of Food Science degree from the same university (first class honours; 88/100). During uni years, I got 2 summer scholarships from prestigious research institutions to do research internship and have worked part-time doing research for 8 months. Active member of Faculty of Science - International Students Consultative Commitee
I haven't done my GMAT but am expecting for possibly 680-700 (or if shooting high, perhaps slightly over 700)
I have now worked for 2.5 years for a national food science research organization (partial joint venture with government). Major responsibilities included managing production trials (no direct report, but have been involved in coordinating activities of up to 5 colleagues), doing the day to day research and together with the project leader, being reponsible for writing up of project proposal and project reports (some projects are >$250 k). Have published scientific articles and presentation in conference. Have received accelerated promotion in the two consecutive years (not common)
I am not very strong in term of co-curricular but would strenghten my profile. I am mainly involved with volunteering for events eg: international sporting events, food exhibition events and fund-raising events. I am very interested in Japanese language and have taken language course for the past 1.5 years amongst other things. Speak: Indonesian, English, Chinese, China dialect, and building on my Japanese
Post MBA goal: I have very strong passion in food and I would love to be in a position where I can combine my current food science knowledge with management skill (project consulting and business development within food science company). In longer term , I would like to start my own food production/R&D companies.
I am aiming to get into top MBA programs with strong entrepreneurship/consulting/marketing program(at the moment not sure yet whether it's USA or Europe) eg: Ross, Babson, Darden, Duke, LBS, Oxford or Manchester. Is this too far-stretched Paul?
I am also aiming to get financial aid/scholarship - considering this, do you know which schools I should apply as safety net?
Thanks so much for your help
Very much appreciated!

mochi_1182,
Your food science and Indonesian background make you an unusual applicant, which helps you stand out. If you get a 700+ GMAT score and can build up your leadership profile you could be competitive at the schools you mentioned. Probably the two toughest schools of those will be LBS and Michigan, but you should be fine at the other schools you named.
Since your job doesn't offer opportunities for formal leadership I recommend finding leadership roles outside of work. In other words, it's not just enough to volunteer; you want to have leadership roles in your volunteer work: leading teams and/or shaping an organization's structure or future. You will need this strengthened leadership to be competitive at the top schools.
I'm no expert on financial aid, but in terms of safety schools that are strong in marketing or entrepreneurship, consider Florida (Warrington), Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan State, Maryland, or Arizona (Eller).
Good luck,

Thanks a lot for your reply Paul, it's really useful and yes, I would definitely need to improve leadership skill.
I know this would depend on one's goal, but just wondering Paul - say if I am really interested in entrepeneurship/marketing, would it be better to aim for say Babson which specifically has a great enterpreneurship program or to aim for school with higher rank eg: Duke which possibly would have better programs overall?
Also, do you know which top-rank schools are more cooperative & less competitive Paul? (I think I would perform / learn better in this environment)
