Hello,
I am 32 (Indian, M) and plan to write GMAT/Executive Assessment next year. I have some family thing going (expecting my first child next month) so I want to take some time to build my profile.
My current profile (at a high level):
1) 11 years in IT Consulting in Pharma domain (Clinical Trials). Currently working as Associate Manager in MNC (Fortune 500). I manage $1-2 M contracts on annual basis.
2) Strong leadership focus, client engagement, contract/financial/resource management, business delivery etc.
3) Last 6 years worked in USA, before that in India
4) Excellent record in company, received promotions on time with highest peer rating. Won almost all available awards.
5) B.Tech in Computer Science from India (Final score - 75%, top 20% in batch)
6) Interest in adventure sports
Why do I want to do MBA?
I have been leading the Life Science unit in my account/company for over 8 years (overall 11 years including my previous employer). My client is one of the biggest drug manufacturer and I help their R&D team with data analytics and reporting capabilities in the field of Clinical Trials. This includes drug discovery, site/country selection, investigator selection and patient recruitment. I want to leverage my pharma/life science knowledge; using the skills I learn in MBA (managerial, handling relationships, organizational behavior etc.) I want to work with senior executives in pharma domain to help solve their critical healthcare issues.
Why MBA now?
From the very start of my career, I have been in pharma/healthcare domain and have very strong expertise in clinical trials/pharma. With this knowledge and with what I will learn with MBA, I believe this will be the right time to apply my expertise in solving the bigger problems impacting the pharma industry.
I want to add following to my profile besides studying for GMAT/Executive Assessment (trying for GMAT for more school coverage):
1) HBX Core
2) Harvard Graduate Certificate in Strategic Management
3) MBA Math (currently pursuing)
4) Certificate in Public Health
5) Learn French
If I am able to score good on GMAT/Executive Assessment, do you think the above profile is good enough for EMBA at schools such as Wharton, INSEAD and LBS?
Thanks

Hi dacoffee,
Thank you for your post. It seems you have some nice experience in your industry, including time spent working the U.S. One of the main challenges associated with the EMBAs you mentioned are how few spots you are ultimately competing for. INSEAD's 2017 EMBA class, for instance, included 14 Indian males in a class of 221. It would likely be helpful for you to compare your own experience to theirs, which is detailed here: https://www.insead.edu/sites/default/fi ... 820171.pdf.
Please also keep Visa considerations in mind, as they vary between the U.S. and Europe/U.K. EMBAs in the U.S. are typically considered part-time and do not qualify for student visas. On the U.K. side, LBS offers a helpful page on Visa requirements: https://www.london.edu/programmes/maste ... quirements
Executive Assessment scores are less available than GMAT scores, of course, but if you're looking for some guidance there, Wharton's EMBA class carries a median score of 700 with a middle 80% range of 630 to 750. As on the full-time MBA side, you'd be applying from an overrepresented group competing for relatively few spots, so you'd likely want to score toward the high end of the range on whatever tests you take: https://executivemba.wharton.upenn.edu/class-profile/
You might also research some of the "full-time" EMBA-type programs that are out there, such as USC Marshall IBEAR, MIT Sloan Fellows, Stanford MSx, and LBS Masters in Leadership & Strategy (though the latter is not an MBA and carries a higher barrier with respect to work experience, so that last one would be a few years down the line if you were still considering. Keep in mind that most of these are highly competitive prestige programs. But this latter set is full-time, which usually means visa eligibility.
Best Regards,
Greg
