First question 38 Months of Workex(More than 3 years) is it after Graduation???? Wow you really started young, Didn't you???? Looking at your acads, would have suggested the YLP program to you but since you are already 38 months old in industry you can now step in with the big boys.
Couple of things which I gathered from the current batch on the site. 80% range age 25-31, Mean Age 27, Gmat 80% Range 680-750, Mean/Median GMAT 710. Work EX 80% Range 2.8 to 7.5, Mean Workex 5 Years
. Anyways it all comes down to how good your applications will be and how you fit into the ISB's bigger picture.Your acads look decent, good luck with your GMAT and hopefully you get a score that ISB won't be able to ignore(CAVEAT earlier they have ignored scores of 750) so again it goes back to your application and how well you portray yourself

Hi Farhan
Thanks for your reply.
Yes 38 months of work experience is after my grad. started working at the age of 19.5...
I have many good points in my profile.. Only negative point is my GMAT prep - i have been scoring pathetic in all prep exams
1) GMAT prep 1 - 450
2) GMAT prep 2 - 560
3) GMAT prep 3 - 650
4) MGMAT 1 - 580
Need expert advise how should i plan my next 10 days... I am scoring bad in verbal part and particularly SC.. I am done with all the concepts but somehow not able to implement whatever i have learnt...

I have a similar problem, started from 600 and have reached 650 in mock, yesterday i registered for the egmat verbal online course after taking their free trials. Take their free trials, see if you like it. What is your target split and your target score. 10 days is very short to improve drastically. However, i have seen a couple of guys improve 8-10 points in verbal with an overall spike of 80-100 points in GMAT in 10 days, visit Share GMAT experience and see how they did it. Since our workex is on a lower side i believe we should target atleast 700 in GMAT, that said and done depends how motivated are you to improve your score. Think about the possibility of not achieving your desired score as well. Contingency plan, will you be willing to take GMAT again and apply in the R2 deadline? Hopefully you wont need it but still keep that option open as well. Honestly knowing the concepts in SC is easy but when it comea to identification of errors under timed pressure its a different game. Egmat talks about Meaning, Error analysis and process of elimination, whats your mock score split? Not just Quant and Verbal but DS, PS, SC, RC, and CR. check on thr accuracy rate of each section and then decide a strategy to go ahead with each question, did u maintain an error log? If no then please go back to the questions you have answered and review your mistakes.
Also remember GMAT prep 3 scores are spiked since you have already seen many questions there. Would advice you to consider your score as average of 1 and 2 and MGMAT and then see wherr you are and where you wanna reach. How much time and effort you need to reach there.
