Firstly thanks for your help in advance! I am in need of some help in selecting an MBA program(s) to apply for and my chances at them.

My background:
-Age 27
-Worked in a fortune 500 pharmaceutical company in marketing
-GMAT: 710

My long-term career goal is to be a C-level executive at a fortune 500 company ideally in pharma/biotech or work in the healthcare group in Private Equity or Investment Banking but what is less clear is what I'd be doing right out of MBA - hoping to work in the USA

Thanks! What do you think about the exit opps for going Health Care Management major at Wharton and the chances of me getting in? How about HBS and Stanford?

Thanks!

Exit opptys for a healthcare mgmt major should be high especially from a school like Wharton. Harvard and Stanford are outliers for most and are very difficult to predict but think you have a chance at these schools if you can hit a 750

Thanks! How do H/S/W and Duke compare interms of opportunities for the healthcare sector? Given my lower end GPA would it be more advisable to have HBS or S-GSB as a stretch school to apply to? thanks

Between HBS and Stanford they will both be stretch schools so research the programs and decide which one is a better fit for you outside of just the healthcare track
