Hey everyone!
Age-23
I’m a B. Pharmacy graduate from India (SPPU/Pune university)GPA (3.6),currently preparing for the GMAT (attempting in March 2025) to apply for the MiM programs . Academically, I have worked on multiple projects, including a review paper on immunotherapy in cancer treatment and research on cancer therapy. I’ve presented at an international conference. And contributed to organizing a blood donation camp. Additionally, I hold a pharmaceutical license for a medical shop in India. Beyond academics, I’ve competed in district-level football and actively participated in various competitions. And I am currently volunteering with e-Vidyaloka, teaching young students as part of a social cause to support their education.
Post Master goals
Would like to move into consulting and gain long term global experience in a top management consulting company.

Although I don’t have formal work experience, I have completed an internship at a startup and have also contributed to my family business, gaining practical exposure to business operations.

Hi Aditya00799
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile looks good on the surface. Your research paper and the conference thing shows that you're serious about digging into stuff. And the volunteering and sports again is a good sign that you're not just about books.
Plus, you've got that family business and startup experience, even if it's not "official" work. That still counts for something. Now, wanting to jump into consulting from a pharmacy background, that's interesting.
I'm wondering, what made you go that way? Like, what clicked for you? And what kind of consulting are you thinking about? To really get your MiM apps in shape, especially with the GMAT coming up, let's connect.

Hi Aditya00799
My view is my very own, but I hope you find some value in it.
Top management consulting roles require consultants to have some kind of specialization in their pre-MBA careers. The stronger your focus or the depth/breadth of your experience in those industries, the more attractive you are as a potential employee.
You really need to consider whether an MiM is the right pathway for you. Will you continue focusing on pharma/healthcare post-MiM, or will you move into a completely different domain? This(moving into a random domain) often happens when international students become desperate during their job searches. Try to assess whether your target schools will provide access to opportunities that allow you to develop sectoral expertise over the next few years- this could even be within consulting.
Evaluate whether at some point, your career would eventually require an MBA. Given the significant time and financial investment required for the application process, I hope you have thoroughly assessed these factors.
If you want to get into good MiM programs where career opportunities are plenty, aim upwards of 675 on the GMAT. Most people pursue MiM because they cannot hack growth in their early careers. You don't want to be caught in a challenging situation after graduating from a low-ranking MiM program (or one where international students do not get the desired opportunities).
