I have a question about where I should be applying. I always told myself that I would go to the best school to which I could gain admission, provided its program was a good fit for my career goals.
I had planned to attend Rotman in Toronto as the program has an excellent Health/Pharma/Biotech stream, but when I received my GMAT scores I started to wonder whether I should be aiming a little higher.
Here are my stats:
GMAT: 740 (45Q / 46V)
Overall Undergraduate GPA (BSc. Laboratory Medicine Top Canadian School): 3.3
Work Experience: 3 years in public health, the last of which was spent as a Lean Design / Six Sigma project manager. 2 Years in private research lab doing research.
Extracurricular Activities: University athlete (Rugby), Worked 2 jobs while in school, Outdoor leader
Personal Facts: Lived in: Canada, US (Texas), Holland, Denmark, Malta
Interests: Fly fishing, Golf, Guitar
Should I consider waiting a year and then applying to top 10 US schools? Is it too late to apply for next year? My concern is that if I wait and do not get accepted that I will have “wasted” a year when I could be studying at a Canadian school.
Thank you in advance for your time.
