Hi, can you please let me know where I stand;
Basics
690 GMAT
3.0 undergrad GPA from UCSD double majored in Biochem and econ
4.0 GPA Masters in Chemistry
4 years at a big name biotech
I am thinking of getting a general MBA because I am still unsure what specialty to focus on. I currently work in drug development.
I made a list of reasonable colleges that I think I can get into, any thoughts? Or better yet, what top school do you think I have a reasonable chance of getting into either listed or not listed on my application.
Duke
Yale
UCLA
Texas
Washington
USC
ASU

Thank you very much

Hey there!
Thanks for writing.
If I am to give you any sort of evaluation, I'm gonna need a lot more than the basics you included here.
So a few questions:
How long have you been working? Were? what position? What do you do? What are your greatest achievements? Do you have any leadership experience? do you have any volunteer work? What? What about extra curriculars in college?
The more information you can give, the better an evaluation I can give you,
Waiting to hear from you,
Best,
Jon

1. I've been working for about 4-5 years. 2yrs at a biotech startup and 2+ yrs at Genentech (an established biotech). In both positions I was strictly research and development doing technical work. Med Chem Scientist.
2. I can't think of any outstanding achievements that I've accomplished outside the norm. I'm pretty regular in that regard. I travel internationally a lot, I hike and backpack a lot. I also created an ecommerce site to cater to my town but that failed. I've written two papers that have been published on global journals within the field, I was listed on a patent that the company was trying to file for a molecular linker.
3. No formal leadership positions. I was never a "lead" on any projects except at the small startup that I worked at. However a lot of that had to do with how many people were working there.
3. I volunteer quite often. I volunteer almost on a weekly basis with my local communities and I've been doing that for most of my young adult life. I can most definitely get letters of rec to verify this. The type of volunteer work that I do varies, a good chunk of it currently involves planting trees in the local community; another example of something I've done is work with Salvation Army to prepare supplies for underserved demographics. Specifically, I've helped put together backpacks with school supplies that kids may need that they can't afford. Or help purchase clothes for kids for school. Another common event is local trash pickup.
4. In college I did a lot of sports during my free time and was part of the school team for swimming. I left though to continue playing sports on my own time rather than on a schedule. I was also part of a few campus student organizations, but not in any leadership capacity.
