Hey all
I am in serious need of an advice. I gave gmat yesterday and managed to get 660 (Q50, V28). The result came in as a surprsie as I was do going well on GMAT prep and Manhattan with a median score of 680 - 700. I want to do Mba in finance from ISB. Considering other personal reasons, i have to get an admit in ISB for 2010
My profile:
1. Working as Business Analyst in IT firm (one of the top 3 IT firms in India) with around 6 years of work experience in BFSI
2. Passed Chartered Finance Analyst Level2 (USA) and would be giving level 3 next year
3. Certifications: SCJP, Green Belt, Lean Six Sigma, NSE beginners module
4. Have received awards and appreciation from clients.
5. Can get a recommendation from VP of an asset managment firms with whom i was working earlier.
It would be really appreicated if someone can advice. Also, how beneficial is post graduation? I was looking at XLRI and SP Jain Dubai Global Mba. Any comments ?
For ISB the 80% GMAT score distribution is 680-760 with average being 716. At the sametime ISB has admitted applicants with score as low as 600.
Though I don't wanna scare you, but since you are from the most typical pool - IT Indian Male - I would suggest if it is possible you should consider a GMAT retake. A good gmat score will keep you competitive
.With the current score of 660, you'll need to have something extra-ordinary in your application and must have very strong essays.
To get suggestions from thinkISB (ISB consultants and Alumni body) you can drop in your queries on the below thread:
