Is it OK if we mention 2 possible career paths (both justified by experience and opportunities available at ISB) in the application essays? Or is it better to talk about single career goal? One role is consulting in present industry and the second is career acceleration in the same industry.

Hello Mam/Sir ,

I am seeking admission into PGP at ISB.
Unfortunately I am not sure that I will crack the GMAT this year.

I did my graduation in BBA. 
I got a job offer to work in an automobile dealership when I was in the third semester of my graduation and changed universities. 
This did not stop me from graduating at the same time my batch did.
I however got 67 percent only at the time of graduation as I was working and attending college at the same time.
I have managed to come up the a very high post at the automobile dealership and collect 6+ years of work experience.
I am not sure ISB will want a student like me as I am not an IITian and not from a technical background. 
I only know how to sell cars and manage an automobile dealership, but I do those things well.
I want to further increase my knowledge and skill set in marketing and finance if am accepted at ISB and look for career opportunities matching my calibre

I formally request the admissions department to guide me on how I can apply and get in successfully in if not Nov 2016, Nov 2017 cycle.

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!
