Hey there,

So...perhaps not the best news for you. A 670 and those stats are going to make ISB pretty difficult, unfortunately. To be honest, nothing in your profile jumps out to me. You're not the only consultant applying. You're not the only one who volunteers to teach underprivileged children English. PS - avid follower of sports doesn't count. Your school is good (BITS is fantastic) but your GPA isn't super high. Coupled with a low GMAT, you're not the strongest academically. I don't really see any "oomf" in your profile. ISB is going to be a stretch for you. You should definitely try to bring that GMAT up but even if you do, it'll still be a stretch.

Hi Bhavik

Thanks for the honest feedback.
You are right that I haven't done anything noteworthy after joining Bits..
Apart from GMAT what else could I do to improve my profile..
Also what sort of post MBA goals I could pursue based on my previous experience..

Thanks

Hey there,

You're very welcome! Forget about your goals for the time being - you can worry about them next year. For the moment, focus on the GMAT and getting involved. And keep doing well at work. But you need to plug those holes in your profile!
