Post MBA Career: Consulting, Pharmaceutical
GMAT: 730
GPA: 3
Location: NYC
Notes:

Rejected without interview from Duke and NYU but pleasantly surprised with scholarship from KF. I feel that KF has a great culture and solid alumni network. Consulting could be an uphill battle but I'm open to considering other paths such as LDP's. Would very much like to return to NYC area post-MBA.
