Hi All,
With 2nd round coming in the next 40 days I am getting nervous that I am fighting an uphill battle with my credentials, and was hoping for some guidance on what to do.
WE: 3 years at Matriculation(apply this year for 2019)-at Biotech doing RnD at top company in our field. <500 people though.-In the past year I have gotten into PM work with a mentor and done some cool market management work.~20hours/week
Male Latino, 1st generation
GPA: 2.7...
GMAT: 660 (46Q, 35V, 6AWA, 6IR), but going to retake as I was testing around 700 before, so I believe I should be able to break 700-720 this time.
Going to apply through consortium to Foster, Anderson, Marshall, and Berkeley if I can pull the GMAT to a 720.
Goal of MBA: Is to immediately get into Product management at Pharmaceutical or Biotech to sharpen my marketing and general management skills and long term goal is to become an impactful leader at a pharma/biotech/tech, think something like business development leader/head of marketing. I believe there is a lack of people with scientific backgrounds spearheading marketing and business initiatives, so I will be there to fill the gap!
Is there anything else I can be doing to improve for R2? How are my chances at the listed schools with my current 660, and how about if I were to go over 700?
Thank you for reading!

fgalvez,
You have an interesting background - you have the diversity factor working in your favor as well...
Your GPA and GMAT are both low - Berkeley will be difficult, perhaps even if you are able to increase your score to 720. The others would be difficult at 660, but could work with a 720.
As an aside - 3 years at matriculation is on the lower side - it won't do you any harm to wait a year or two, get more solid experience, and try to improve your score at the same time.
Regards,
Karthik

Thank you for the reply. I have considered waiting as well; however, I kind of see waiting and continuing to work as poiintless, at least from advancing my career to where I want to go. I'm working on the score, my essays and recommendations are both strong, as I feel that I have a good story to work with. I knew Berkeley would be very difficult and have thought about pulling my app from them. Would you think a 700+ for the other schools would make an interview likely?
