Hi Angela! thanks for all the great videos. could you do a video of early career candidates? maybe, tips on what to highlight in the application or maybe a discussion on which is better, the part-time or full-time program? thanks!
Hi Daniel! Thanks for the question! But there really is no such thing as an MBA with a biotech/Pharma focus. The MBA is a generalist degree. It trains you for management in ANY industry, and it is not designed to give you specialized knowledge in one specific field. That is what they expect you to bring into the MBA with you or to cultivate AFTER the MBA in your chosen field. My advice is to look for a program that can provide you with management and cross-functional expertise so that you can be a more valuable player in whatever industry you choose and don't look to the MBA to help you specialize in one industry.
Hii, I'm a student currently pursuing my second bachelors in a humanities. I'm also planning to do an MBA from top 10 US b.schools. But I wonder my low GPA in 1st undergrad might hurt my chances. So can I just hide my 1st degree and only mention 2nd undergrad in my mba application form. Is it safe to hide certain educational information from the admission committee & what can happen if committee don't find it or find it after we get admitted. Please reply
You should definitely tell the truth! But it makes a great material for your essays if you're able to tell a compelling story of how you turned your grades around! If this is backed up by strong career performance and goals, your initial grades shouldn't be a problem :)
happy
think of the not so near future

Hi Enrique! We can definitely add it to the list - a few people have asked us :)
Hello Angela, Is there any chance you can talk about MBA programs with a biotech/Pharma focus
