As I plan to graduate in May 2016, I would like to visit these pharmaceutical companies as I believe they may be some of the companies I will be submitting resumes to in the coming months.  It is my intention to seek positions as a research scientist in industry, and visiting these companies would give me vast insight into the type of qualifications they are looking for in candidates and it may also allow me to gain contacts and network within these companies, making me more competitive when I apply.
