Big Life Wins:

I consider my big professional win was when I was able to work through the late-stage development of a cancer drug and was awarded an appraisal during the launch of that drug in the US market.

Hi Ms. Biomanager, this is Kate Richardson with mbaMission. I like how you describe yourself as a lifelong learner and someone who is passionate about improving the lives of others. Those qualities should be strengths in your application, as is your demonstrated experience in the pharma industry. Your post MBA goals seem reasonable too, and I can see how an MBA would help you to explore the BD side of the industry. What worries me is your GPA / GMAT combination. Maybe you are converting your GPA to a 4.0 scale? You shouldn’t need to. The GMAT is well below the NUS average of 667 so if you can retake and raise your score close to that, I would increase your odds significantly. Good luck! …
