-I was a representative for the Civil Engineering department to conduct various technical events at college under ISTE (Indian Society for Technical Education)
- Won a couple of medals for presenting technical papers and projects during Graduation.
I am planning to take GMAT this June.
The biggest concern I have is the lack of Extra Curriculars. Could you please evaluate my profile and suggest me about how to enhance my profile to get into ISB.
I've heard that ISB prefers candidates from diverse backgrounds. As I am from a non-IT background, Do I have any advantage as such??
Im thinking of resigning my job and focussing on GMAT, as im struck at a 600 -650 level and its becoming very diffiicult to focus on GMAT preparation with my current work hours (Its a 6 day work week and i'm working almost 11 to 12 hours a day) .I'm aware that the break from job would have some negative implication on the admission process, but is there any way to offset this ??
