Dear MBA Admission Consultant,
I am an Italian citizen in the US on a H1B visa, I have been working for three years as a researcher at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford, CT.
I hold a PhD in molecular biology from Bari University and my gpa score at Genoa University was 4.0.
I have several international publications and I am considered a successful researcher in my field, however I feel that basic research is not what I want anymore, I need my work to have an impact earlier then 10-15 years down the road...
So I decided that an MBA would help me in the transition to the biotech industry and give me the ability to handle both scientific and business related issues.
I was planning to apply to Tuck, W.P. Carey at Arizona State, and UCONN. I prepared for the GMAT, one week before the exam I scored 740 on the GMATprep practice test from GMAC. I went saturday for the exam and,
I got an abysmal
610 (Q36 V38)
My problem is that I thought the test was going well and the good score on the practice test made me feel secure of my preparation.
Should I repeat the test or just hope that my curriculum, the PhD, and the fact that I have been working in the US will help balancing the GMAT score?
Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Stefano
