Hey Jsub,

Thanks for your profile! I think you have good credentials that will make you competitive at the schools mentioned below. As you know, definitely shoot for a higher GMAT score to counter your undergrad GPA. BTW - I dont think your GPA is low per se, but as you said, nothing you can do about it now - so focus on bumping up your GMAT score.

I agree with your assessment - having an MBA coupled with a science background will power your career in Pharma. So, as a non-traditional candidate, one of your key challenges is convincing AdCom you know the value of the MBA and how it will help you achieve your short/long term career goals. This will be very important in your essays. So make sure you take time to research the school's resources (including HC-related classes, clubs, activities). Similarly, think thru your post-MBA career goals. What function are you interested and how will the MBA (along with your previous experience) help you get there.

Good luck!

NP
