Hello, I scheduled my GMAT test on 3rd Oct and I am planning for R2. I am targeting a score >700 as said before applicants from IT pool may require higher score than others. I didn't work for an IT industry, but worked for state govt of Arkansas, USA for 3+ years. I have Bachelors and Masters in USA from computer background and worked as a project analyst. I am not sure if I fall into the the IT pool or not, can some one clarify on that.
I resigned my job and moved to India after 5+years living in USA due to personal reasons, now I am targeting MBA to boost my career in India. can some one help me about my chances of getting into ISB or other good B schools in India, if any suit to my profile.
Thanks,
Madhukar.
Hi Madhukar,
IT or non-IT, it does not matter. I am not aware of ISB having any quotas for a special class of applicants.
Eventually, you are Madhukar, an academics oriented guy, who has substantial international experience and exposure, and brings something new to the ISB table, through his association with the government office of another country.
Well, I just gave you a positioning statement (Kudos expected for that
).
Think of yourself as an individual with a rich set of experiences. Other important things are:
1. GMAT - can't ignore that devil. 700+ is good.
2. 2-3 substantial achievements at work or in the community
3. Clarity of career goals- short term, mid term and long term.
4. Getting the Governor of Arkansas to recommend you!! (ok not him, that's a joke. But someone who has seen your work closely and will make a good assessment of your capabilities and potential).
Hope that helps,
Namita Garg,
