Hi Samcom,

Your work experience sounds interesting and you will bring the diversity that any b-school desires.

I am concerned about a low GMAT and a low GPA. Now if you execute your application really well, it may still work out in your favor, but just to be on the safe side, you should consider retaking GMAT, even if you apply in R2. You'll also need solid career goals, i.e. what do you want to do after MBA, why and why MBA?

There is some overlap in your work experience dates.

Hi, everyone!

Seeking for an objective profile evaluation, I need valuable tips on how to improve my current position to get into top MBA programs (Wharton/Harvard/Yale/Columbia).

1. Undergraduate

Specialist degree in Business Information Technologies (5 years, Russian degree - Bachelors/Masters equivalent)
No-name university, entered at 15 y.o. with almost perfect scores. I know that was and it is a big lack, but there were reasons. Bottom line - I've started to work in the small IT firm and didn't care about degree at all. During examination periods I was just passing tests and exams without any problem, but overall GPA, as we know, is calculated in different way, so I have ~ 2.8/4 here. In the last year of study I understood that my real value is approaching to zero, so I started to work really hard and finally I found my passion in finance.

2. Masters

After graduation I was invited to Masters in Financial Economics program with full scholarship and completed it perfectly (GPA - 4/4). During that 2 years I have completed a lot of online courses at top universities (over 30 MOOCS). I was very excited with that experience and decided that I should apply to MBA one day.

3. Test scores

GMAT - 770
TOEFL - working on that now (tests ~ 95-105)

4. Work experience

a) I have started part-time work at 16 y.o. as an assistant webmaster ~ 2 years.
Quitted this job to improve my study, but in a few months started to work as part-time sales manager ~ 8 months.
b) During the final year of undergraduate degree I was working as Chief Technical Officer in the small webstudio ~ 9 month.
Quitted this job due to Masters degree.
c) At the first year of Masters I tried to build a Finance startup (providing cheap sourses of finance to local enterprises). Attempt failed after 5 months due to multiple reasons, including economy default.
d) Multiple internships in local Ministry of Economy in investment department.
e) At the second year I started a small, part-time consluting business (improving sales with Managerial&IT tools) - it was part of a capstone project at Wharton online specialization ~ 6 month.

Now I am 22 y.o. I am writing professional investment recommendations and managing my small investment portfolio. At the end of this month I am also starting to teach economics at university. By the end of this year I am going to develop finance courses to improve local financial literacy. Also planning to pass CFA within 2-3 years.

Thank you, for reading!

P.S.

I know that's not a perfect profile and my first GPA is a big fail. Also my work experience is far from perfection for top MBA programs, but I hope you will be objective and provide a valuable tips on how to improve my position. I am working really hard to fix my past mistakes and all your advices would be very valuable for me. Thank you!


Hi Oligm,

First of all, congratulations for an excellent GMAT score. That will help in some way to salvage your GPA. That will go along well with the Masters GPA. I think the best strategy is to own up to your mistakes in the application and express how they have been a learning for you in future projects/initiatives.

I didn't quite get your work experience - how long have you held a full time job? The work exp. looks scattered right now. I am impressed with your work initiatives and your tenacity, but the adcoms would look for something solid, where you have proved yourself after all your ups and downs and learning. That I think will be an impressive story.

Hi Swarnendu,

I don't see why you don't stand a chance. However as a reapplicant your onus to prove yourself to the adcom increases a few notches. What have you done to make your profile better since last year on : academic front (GMAT), professional (promotion, achievements, increased work responsibility), personal (self improvement); community involvement?

Also the rest of the essays and the application needs to be answered really well. Last year, your application naturally lacked on some parameters, so this year you should take extra care to address those.

For those keen to connect to current class students at ISB, the School has a new "Brand Ambassadors" page at https://www.isb.edu/pgp/student-connect
You can filter for your specific function and experience range and connect with one of the Ambassadors, who would be more than happy to guide you.
Please note that they may not be in a position, however, to assist with prep, resume/ essay review etc, due to the hectic schedule they grapple with at ISB!
Just a heads up to all those looking to crack ISB!
Good luck!

Hi,

I was finally able to create an account on GMATclub after trying and giving up for several months! During which I prepared and appeared for GMAT. I'm done with my GMAT (for now) and it would be great if you can access my profile -

GMAT - 700 (Q:49 V:36 AWA:4 IR:6)

10th - 84.33%

12th - 77.33%

B.E. (MIT Manipal) - 7.2 (Information Technology)

Work Experience - Total (>4 years) Worked as Associate Applications Engineer at Oracle India Pvt. Ltd. for 1.5 years (also interned here for 6 months). Currently working as Associate Consultant at ZS Associates (>2.5 years) with 2 teams

I was associated with an NGO for some time. Also, I was the board member of Music and Fine Arts club in the college.


Is it good profile for ISB Hyderabad. Is this GMAT score good enough? Or should I retake? I think I can get 720 - 730 with a little more preparation.

Also, I'm lost about where to start with my essays. I don't think I have a lot in my profile where I can really stand out, and I'm considering taking help from a consultancy. Any suggestions ?

Thanks! :)

Hi

I think your profile stands a chance given the right strategy and brainstorming required for constructing a good application.

700 is a great score and in my opinion a 720 or 730 won't make much of a difference. Instead if you utilize your time crafting the best possible essays, it'd certainly be more beneficial.

For a better evaluation of your profile it'd be great of you could mention your short term and long term goals or just fill out this form at https://thebootcamp.biz/free-profile-evaluation/

The Bootcamp is a consultancy by ISB admits and alums and we have helped numerous applicants with their essays, also our pricing is the most competitive for the comprehensive services and personal attention we provide.

It's great to have people who have already been through the process and succeded guide you. You can view our various services at https://thebootcamp.biz

Hi Stuti,

A score of 610 is too less. You should try to get atleast 660+

Hi

- While your GMAT score is in the acceptable range, and so are your work ex and academics, more information is needed on your experience and your key responsibilities at work.
- Please also provide more information on ECA

Hi Stuti

- Your GMAT score is a bit too low. Please try and increase it to at least 650, if not more. If that means pushing your application to R2, pl do so.
- Your background differentiates you, and if you can get a higher score and build a strong application, you should have a good chance at ISB.

Hi Gooberboy

While the profile by itself is decent, the GMAT score is quite low. You will need to increase this by around a 100 points to really start having a chance.

Hi Goonerboy

As Gyanone said you need to bump up your score by 100 points at least. Your name suggests that you are an Arsenal fan and we gooners above all know what it takes to experience success after long time

Hey community :-D

I would be grateful if someone could evaluate my profile. I am a pretty down-to-earth person but I am curious what my chances for a Top MBA are.
I am going to apply in August 2017.

Here is my profile:

Nationality: Italian
Age: 23 (when the program starts I will be 25)
WE: 2 years (by the time the program starts) (insurance and consulting)
GPA: 3,6 (from a well known European university)
Toefl: 111
GMAT: 720
Leadership skills: During the age of 16 to 21 I kind of used to run my own business in the summer months. My parents own a hotel but they retired already, so I was in charge in running the business. I would say that I had a huge responsability because everything depended on me (7-8 employees). I don't know if I should mention this in my application.

Furthermore, I volonteered many years and I was on exchange on a well known American university for six months.

Dream Schools: HBS, Sloan, Yale, Booth, McCombs

I think the problem will be my WE. Anyway, thanks in advance. :o

Re: ISB Profile Evaluation - Tools for B-School Profile Evaluation [#permalink] New post   05 Oct 2016, 03:42
Hi,

Please evaluate my profile for ISB.I am planning to apply for 2017 - 2018 session.

Mining Engineer from NITK Surathkal.

Founder of a start up backed by some high profile investors.Recognised by NASSCOM as a high potential start up in 2015.Start up is currently not in great shape because of prevailing market situation.Looking for a buyer but in worst case might need to shut it down.

Previous work ex :

Worked as retail consultant for 2 years ( Promoted once )

Worked as regional sales head for 15 months before perusing my start up full time.

Academics :

GMAT - 700 - Q 49, V 37 ( Does it make sense for me to retake it.I think I can increase my score by 20-30 points but not more )

CGPA - 7.45
12th - 73
10th - 70 ( I think these 3 are my weak points.How much do you think this will affect my chances and is there anything I can do to counter it )

Extracurricular :

State level Tennis player

Secretary of the cultural fest of my collage ( It is one of the biggest college fests in the country )

I was Rotaract coordinator for 3 yrs.Was responsible for organising activities like orphanage visits, old age home visits, blood donation camps, campus cleaning activities, Weekend teaching classes for underprivileged students etc.

Future goals : I am an out an out start up guy and would like to remain associated with start ups after my MBA.Would either like to do another start up or work for some VC firm.

Please let me know in case I can add anything for better evaluation.

Many Thanks.
