Hello friends,
I am a scientist in biotech industry. I want an MBA to have a larger impact on the industry and advance health care delivery. So I know Wharton has HCM. Although I think biotech is not really healthcare (maybe we can argue it is under healthcare, but it's more scientific-driven?). However, I think for AdCom Biotech IS under healthcare. I have some questions about Wharton HCM.
1. Wharton HCM basically has NO students coming from biotech/pharma industry, and has very few graduates going to biotech/pharma industry. It seems more like a program for people from OTHER industries to enter more lucrative fields in Health Care (Consulting/VC/PE, etc.) So does it mean they are not interested in scientists, or scientists don't really want to apply to this program?
2. If I mention healthcare in my application, will they think it's weird that I don't apply for HCM? (I did some research and I am sure some people from biotech/healthcare do not go to HCM but go to regular MBA)
Thank you!

Hi. It does not necessarily mean they don’t want biotech people. Programs are always interested in a diverse student body. However, there is no reward for creativity. Ideally, you would walk the world trodden path that other graduates have taken.
In some sense, the Adcom like to see people follow familiar recruiting choices. If someone tries to jump too high or transition to far out of there field, Adcom do not want to end up with a failed graduate who did not manage to get a job and reached too far.
So what should doing is actually great. You can use this research to help you figure out traditional career paths out of Wharton…. For Biotech, Sloan has been the feeder school traditionally though I can’t imagine it was sending a large number either.
This is a great question for one of the consultants who is an alum from Wharton. I’m trying to remember who we have… 😬 @amerasia?
