Hi,
I need your help in guiding and giving me better directions for my goals. I have completed by Bachelor in Pharmacy from India with a GPA = 2.9 (ECE evaluated) in 2007. and since then i have been working for Thomson Reuters- IP & Science located in India. My job profile deals with providing solutions for Life science / Pharmaceutical / Biotechnological companies globally. Overall i have an experience of 6 years. I am very much interested in doing a MBA that can help me develop a career in the same field so can you suggest me few universities that i should aim for and the ideal GRE or GMAT score to get into that. Location wise i would prefer anything in or close to Illinois cause my family resides there. and further i am little more inclined in giving a GRE than GMAT so can this limit me in a major way. And lastly i intent to get into a university at the earliest, probably the January 2014 intake.

please guide me in this.
Regards
Wahab

Thanks for your reply . my GPA is at a lower end . can you suggest ways how i can improve on this to help me get into a good business school .

but i am looking at something in the USA , preferable in Illinois cause my family resides there.

You can improve your GPA by taking a part-time course or the GMAT and getting an excellent grade. You can argue that the higher grade better reflects your academic potential.
