Hi Karolinska,

Thanks for your post. You certainly have a solid profile. In additional to your excellent GMAT score and solid academics, you have an interesting career with a good trajectory to date.

Given your background in medical research and development your goal of business development in a pharmaceutical company is certainly logical and the adcom will likely think so too. Your long term goal of VC is a good one, and you may wish to expand on it a bit further in your "Why MBA" essays so that the adcom can clearly connect the dots between your short and long term goals.

Lastly, I think you've listed a nice mix of programs and can certainly be competitive at each of them. Please feel free to send your resume to [email protected] for a detailed and free assessment.

Best,

Stacey
