Hey there!  Great questions, and congrats on doing so well in school in the US!  Now, what you are attempting is going to be VERY difficult.  No schools like to hear, in their applications, about career changes.  Why?  Because it is RISKY to them.  That is, if you have a background in biochem, and NO background in PE or IB…why should they believe that you will like your new career?  Or more to the point, why would they think that youd get a JOB in this new career?  That’s the key—career transitions are very difficult to prove.  You need to try harder to link your future goals (at least as far as the adcom is concerned) to your background in biochem.  Most career change applications will be unsuccessful, every year.  So be careful dude!  Now, assuming that you get a good score on your GMAT, you should apply to the Magic 7 for sure, and sprinkle in some safeties as well.  All programs will be just fine for PE and IB—we tell everyone to simply “go to the best program you can get into.”  Keep it nice and simple, and get into a great program.  Once you get in, you will be able to attempt your career transition.  But don’t write about it in your apps!  J  Hope this makes sense my friend…
