hello,

If you aim to advance in biotech business development or eventually start your own company, top MBA programs such as LBS, Cambridge Judge, Oxford Saïd, INSEAD, and Berkeley Haas provide strong opportunities. Around 5–6% of their graduates move into biotech or healthcare roles, with placement rates ranging from 72% to 93% and median salaries between £74,000 and $155,000. Expanding your focus to schools like MIT Sloan, Harvard’s MS/MBA Biotech, and Michigan Ross offers more specialized industry access and practical experience in biotech hubs, which will help you build valuable connections and credibility for long-term success in this sector.

Hi russoman. Here is our assessment:
- You need a valid test score; target GMAT Focus 695–715 with a strong quant signal or GRE over 325 with Quant over 165 before submitting.
- Best fits: INSEAD, LBS, Oxford Saïd, Cambridge Judge; Haas is a reach unless you can show US market traction. Add Wharton HCM, Kellogg, Duke Fuqua HSM, UCLA Anderson, and IESE or HEC Paris for more coverage as these are solid Healthcare programs (no program has an exclusive focus on biotech only). The US schools will require higher scores of 665+; European schools will be ok with around 645+ .
- Differentiate with hard numbers on commercial wins, key accounts, and supplier negotiations; secure one recommender from a major supplier or anchor client plus one from your firm.

Age/gender/ethnicity: 30/M/asian

Education: Bsc in Biochemistry, 3.5 GPA, from a top 10 university globally

GMAT: 700(expired, aiming for 695+)

Work experience: 8 years
co-owner of a small company (~12 people, handling 3-4 million USD revenue a year) that does distribution for Biotech/medical field in my region.
My role in the company is marketing, sales, and BD. Started as an employee, was promoted twice in the first 2 years, and signed on as a co-owner in the 3rd year. Significant growth since I started my role as a co-owner: headcount went from 6 to 12, ~400% growth in revenue, lead and completed a project adding a e-commerce platform.

EC: captain of local baseball team, won championships in local tournament 2 years in a role

Post-MBA goal:
short-term - higher level sales management/BD in Biotech/medical field, get some connections and credibility
Long-term - start my own company in biotech/medical field

Target schools: LBS, Judge, Said Oxford, INSEAD, HAAS
I have not done extensive research on which schools to aim for, especially US ones.
So I would also appreciate suggestions on schools that are most suitable for my profile and career goals in Biotech/medical field!
