Hi there,
I am a 3rd year Mpharm undergrad on a 4 year course in the UK. I plan to do the MBA in a few years time and I needed some guidance on what is the best way to go about it. My main concern is what is the right pre MBA work experience for someone who is a pharmacist and wants to work in pharma companies in project management.
My stats
1. Undergrad- 2.1 or a 1st in Mpharm( going to graduate in 2016)
2.GMAT- in the process of preparing
3.Work experience- This is what I hope to be my work experience path pre MBA
-- 1 year as Pre registration Pharmacist after graduation ( In a hospital or a community pharmacy)
-- Further 1 -3 years working as a Pharmacist leading a team of staff in a branch of a community Pharmacy ( skills include leadership, management of a team, problem solving and coming with new ideas as to how to increase revenues for the store)
This is something I wanted to confirm that whether this sort of W.E is suitable or do I need to look for further options such as grad schemes in companies unrelated to Pharma to increase my management/commercial/HR knowledge.
4. Some programmes I have looked at as a potential are Wharton, MIT, LBS/ Stanford
I do realise that this may be a bit early for me, but it would help me greatly if I do have the right information before i set on the path of an MBA as it is a lifelong investment I need to think very carefully about. Any help would be appreciated!
Kind Regards

Thanks to the good system of school options in the UK, there are relatively few applicants to US b-schools from there, so this positions you as a desirable diversity play for US schools. Your target schools are super competitive of course, so you will need a great GMAT score to earn attention, but your experience as a pharmacist will be another great differentiator, since few apply from that field. I think your plans are good since they include leadership experience, a key trait for top b-school admits. You should be working to challenge yourself both in and out of the workplace, making sure your impact is demonstrable across every organization you touch.
