I would really appreciate your input on how I can reinforce my profile to be admitted to HBS.
Gender: female
age and origin: 27 from North Africa
GMAT: not taken yet
Degrees: PhD (GPA 3.65) in Chemical Engineering from top 10 US engineering school
Accomplishments: hold a unique visa for persons with extraordinary abilities in the sciences, 9 research publications, over 10 international conference talks and invited talks, Excellence Medal from the Minister of Education of my home country, various press releases.
work experience:
post PhD: 1 year as a research scientist in R&D at a top 5 US Pharma company
during PhD: 3 months research collaboration at ETH Zurich (home of Einstein), researcher at a software company for 6 months moving between London and NJ.
Business interest: semi-finalist (16th out of 200) at the Clean Tech Business competition, semi-finalist in 2 business plan competitions during grad school
Community leadership: volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House
Goals: move from R&D to portfolio or product management
Questions:
!) Do I need to do a short term assignment (6 months) in Product Management at my company to prove why I am interested in b school? (in my current role, I only focus on the science aspect)
2)What type of leadership roles do b schools look for?
3) how many years of work experience are needed post PhD?
I truly appreciate the help.
