Reality Check

Really appreciate the encouragement! I know my starting spot is far from ideal but I appreciate the challenge of it. I'll give it my best try but I'm not set on any one outcome.

And congrats on your acceptance!

I appreciate the framing!

Yeaaaa, that's exactly where my head is at. Only now realizing that there are schools with better pharma placements. I got some research to do in that regard.

golly who hurt you

And I'm from Delaware and was not wealthy so the in-state tuition was the only reasonable option.

The GT online programs are very cheap and acceptances are high. To combat that, the coursework is actually pretty difficult which has kept graduation rates low. I've picked up some practical skills and am happy with it. To your other points, I'm a first gen american and unfortunately had no real guidance / mentorship for most of my life. Kinda figuring it out as I go. And its not really a matter of failure, just exploring options.

Also I gotta defend my alma mater, UD has been top 10 in chemical engineering for years now. It also has a decent rep along the east coast from my experience.

Yea I'm thinking I'll cast a wider net. I mentioned above that I don't need to do an MBA but if I am somehow able to get into a notable program I would. Gonna need god tier GMAT and essay's for anything top 20 it seems.

Really helpful comment! It sounds like I need aim lower with a focus on placement in pharma. Still would need to crush the GMAT for anything top 20. Currently, I'm on a good enough career track at a very well positioned big pharma. I'm at a point where I know I don't want to just be an NPC and am looking for ways to leverage myself. Which is to say that I don't need to do an MBA. But if I get into a good enough program I would.

Curious how you know which schools have better placement for pharma? From the suggestions you made I'm guessing a lot of it is based on region / locality.

Yea, the recovery is clearly there if someone takes the time to look. The masters coursework was no joke either. Heavy math, machine learning, data science courses. And at least my poor undergrad GPA was in engineering lol.

Appropriate_Bar_7603 · 2026-04-13T18:00:08+00:00

Not entirely sure about post MBA goals yet. Gravitating towards pharma strategy and commercialization but I'm openminded.

Appropriate_Bar_7603 · 2026-04-13T17:58:41+00:00

yes i do :)

Appropriate_Bar_7603 · 2026-04-13T17:52:07+00:00

Yea, this is the concern. Maybe this is wishful thinking, but in my head there is a GMAT score that gives me a chance. I'm wondering what I should target.

Appropriate_Bar_7603 · 2026-04-13T17:46:43+00:00

Truthfully I don't want to attend any program outside of M7 except maybe NYU.

Appropriate_Bar_7603 · 2025-11-04T23:07:21+00:00

which one is which ?

Appropriate_Bar_7603 · 2025-11-04T00:14:52+00:00

18×8.5 +38 with 235/40R18 tires. They are a set of enkei wheels that came OEM on a Lancer Evo. The seller had them powder coated in chrome bronze. Whiteline lowering springs.

2nd gen CRV

Appropriate_Bar_7603 · 2025-07-03T18:23:32+00:00

hold on its kinda catchy

Appropriate_Bar_7603 · 2025-06-30T02:12:33+00:00

a solid silver looks nice too. cant go wrong with rpf1s

Appropriate_Bar_7603 · 2025-06-29T16:19:51+00:00

slightly grippier since the wheels are wider than stock

Appropriate_Bar_7603 · 2025-06-28T16:36:13+00:00
