Anon Likes Earned: 0 You appear to have a longer pre mba consulting career than is more normal. This may be a good thing (more evidence of impact) or not (fit concerns). If you have decent ECs I'd assume your school selection is very realistic. (0)

Anonymous Likes Earned: 0 It sounds like you have a nice career as a consultant advising pharma companies. It looks like you want to return to consulting but change locations from San Fran to NY/London - why are you interested in changing locations? Also, when you return to consulting, do you intend to maintain your pharma focus? (0)

OP Likes Earned: 0 Thanks for your comments. Long career was due to desire to gain US exposure. Upon entry in 2018 I will have 3 years in the US + 4 years in Europe. Can demonstrate significant client impact and a promotion in my time in the US. Q48 in the GMAT any issue when backed up by a science UG? (0)
