Appreciate guidance.

by Ymoawad » Thu Dec 11, 2014 10:03 am
Hello everyone,

I am an entrepreneur from Lebanon. I have a Pharm-D Degree and I founded a pharmaceutical distribution company seven years now.
I have managed all aspects since day one. The company is growing and I want to join an MBA program to have some global experience (maybe a couple of years) and then come back and grow my company more, or why not start something new.

So this is my profile:
-GMAT: 680
-Graduate grades: good/average (french university)
-TOEFL: 118

i want to live in a big city so I'm targeting NYU Stern or Columbia in NY; Some have suggested Sloan Fellows MBA (since i have extensive experience).

What are my chances to join these programs.
Thankful for any help that might come my way!

Hi there,

Thanks for posting. It sounds like you've accomplished a lot in your business, congrats, and no doubt have gained invaluable experience in a wide range of areas. Schools will likely appreciate that perspective you'll have to contribute. It sounds as though your GMAT is a touch lower than the average at those schools, just a heads up. As for MIT Sloan Fellows, they look for 10+ years of experience so sounds like that might not apply. Anyway be sure to work on those essays to differentiate yourself; let us know what other q's you have and good luck!
