Hi, Stacy, Lisa, and Tani,
Could you please evaluate my credentials when you have the time? I would like to know what my chances are. My only insecurity is my undergraduate GPA, which is the main reason I am opting to delay my application until I have at least 5 years of work experience. I certainly do not believe my GPA is an accurate reflection of what I'm capable of (higher core GPA than overall GPA; will not list GPA as this industry is very small with a tight network). I'm also very excited and happy with my current position, which I strongly believe will lead to many grand opportunities in the future.
Age: Late 20s
GMAT: Realistically targeting 700+
Education: Bachelors in Biochemistry
Target MBA programs: FEMBA at Marshall or Anderson for Fall of 2012 or 2013; may consider Pepperdine (Graziadio) if rejected from both Marshall and Anderson
Current industry: Biopharmaceuticals
Specialization: International expansion into emerging markets, project management, large molecule drug product engineering & process development
Work experience: 4 years of very valuable experience in two fortune 500 companies (pharmaceutical industry)
Career goal: Become a global leader in expanding manufacturing of large molecule parenteral drug products into emerging markets, especially China; eliminate inefficiencies in the current global biomanufacturing network, build relationships and a strong reputation to ensure compliance and to maximize competitiveness and profits for shareholders and business partners.
