Hi,
Thank you for your post. You have a great profile and I would be happy to evaluate. Admissions committees will look at your profile holistically, analyzing your stats, work experience, and extracurriculars.
First of all, regarding your stats, congrats on achieving such an improvement in your GMAT score! Improving from a 500 to a 700 is impressive. Your IR of 3 is a little low so that may be worth addressing, but your GMAT quant and verbal scores and your GPA will enable you to be competitive with other applicants.
I like your work experience because it shows significant leadership. You have led projects and multi-person teams, as well as supervised trainees. These are experiences that you should definitely showcase in your application, and hopefully use to provide compelling anecdotes and stories.
As for extracurriculars, it is important to show that that you have taken initiative and made a difference in certain activities. Perhaps your role in leading research in pharmacognosy is one example. It may also be a good idea to take on a leadership role outside of the medical field.
You have a great profile, but keep in mind how competitive the programs you listed are; they often turn away exceptional candidates because there may not be room in the program. In your application, make sure to discuss why a specific school is right for you. I like that you have clear goals, so do your homework to make sure that each school can help you achieve them. It will be important to do research on the types of opportunities in pharma that each school offers.
I would be happy to discuss in much greater detail if you would like to sign up for a free 30 minute consultation on our mbaMission website.
Thanks and good luck to you.
