Hi everyone, I am currently a prehealth student and my friends introduced me to the world of business and consulting. I recognize that my previous focus and these areas are vastly different. Therefore, I am willing to get every necessary training and education.
I scored 99.2 percentile on Dental Admission Test, which is equivalent to Harvard D school average and higher than Columbia D school. but unfortunately, I don't want to be a dentist cause now I think that the career is like a highly trained technician. I want to be constantly challenged with new projects and work with many different people.
I went to a state university (Top 50 in US News) with a full-ride, had Biochemistry major and Business administration minor and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a GPA of 3.76. My non-science GPA is 3.98 which is mainly composed of business courses. I made As in accounting, finance, business law, management, and marketing.
For extracurriculars, I worked at pharmacology lab for 2 years, got several authorships in publications, won $4,000 scholarship for working on a mentored project, wrote a senior thesis, and presented several posters. I was the president of a community service club and led members to participate in many outreach activities. I volunteered at homeless clinic for 3 years, hospice for 2 years, and several different area in hospitals for nearly 500 hours. I also volunteered with Big Brothers and Big Sisters for 1 year and mentored an underprivileged child who was very behind in studies and made him one of top students.
I am currently working at National Institutes of Health as a research fellow and am about to get several authorships at top journals like Science and Nature. I am also working on an independent project of my own and almost done with collecting necessary data and am about to start working on my manuscript.
I do feel that my activities are very unrelated to consulting realm, so do you guys think I should get masters in IT? or MBA??
After completing every training or education I need to do, do I have chances at top tier consulting companies like Mackinsey or a second tier like Accenture? or any other IB firms??![]()
