Hi Nikhil,
Thanks for taking the time to read over this. I'll try to keep it as concise as possible.
23, male, born and partially raised in India, moved to the US young
GPA: 3.6 from Carnegie Mellon (Double major in Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering), Honor's Research Student, Study abroad in Australia
GMAT: 730 (47Q, 43V)
Experience:
Currently a manufacturing supervisor at big pharma; I manage union workers (a def. challenge at times!!) and manage the daily operation of our production area. I also work 12 hour shifts, which limits my outside activities. I've been working here for ~18 mo.
Previously was at the Nat'l Inst. of Health through a fellowship I was awarded. I did research focused on a rare lysosomal disorder. (Don't know how this applies to b-school, if at all)
I also was one of the founders, was the president of, and was the captain of the rugby team at CMU. That basically took all of my extra/non-study time, minus some IM sports. I also made the college team in australia when I studied there for a semester (which was a big reason I went).
Schools:
My first/reach choice is Stanford, then HBS, and then in no def order: Darden, Kellogg, UCLA, Fuqua. I think I need at least one more, though this list is not set in stone by any means.
Plans:
I would like to study general mgmt and entrepaneurship.
**Are there any other schools you believe I should consider? I am having a hard time finalizing my list and choosing a "safety" school.
**What are my chances? I realize my young age is a negative..
Again, thank you so much for your time and advice.
-A
