-2 years working for a pharma consulting firm - work in operation projects - will have a promotion (did not have during last application)
-Volunteer - have coached 3 separate youth basketball teams, and started a non-profit youth basketball camp - continued involvement in coaching sports
-Goal is to continue to work in the pharma industry as a consultant once i graduate to gain more experience, then long term goal to become a COO of a pharma company to be able to fix some of the problems within the pharma industry - relates back to growing up and my father having a life threatening illness and the bills that ensued after.
Let me know if I have a realistic chance at the schools i stated above and how should I approach my application and camouflage any obvious weaknesses.
Or any schools you think i am leaving out of the mix!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!
