In Reply To: will depend greatly on what you do at the biotech startup. Schools like Harvard and Yale only admit those who show stellar accomplishments while working in business; everyone has the grades and exam scores necessary. You can never assume you'll get in. Also, in my opinion, if you can't get into one of the top-tier school (top ten even) it's not worth going. If you *do* accomplish a lot while working for the biotech (must/should be on the business end) I think your chances are very good. However, by the time you finish all of this, you may have a rewarding career and not want to tangent into VC. Good luck!
Message: what's a top 10 b-school? All the rankings vary, for example, look at the Wall Street Journal Rankings that just came out, Dartmouth was #1 and i think Wharton was #14
