Hi, can anyone of you recommend good admission consultants? Someone that you had worked with for your applications and had good experience with them.

Hello SidSahay

The additional information definitely fills many gaps and makes your overall candidature more promising.
This needs to be tied into the specific skills gaps that you want ISB to fill (go as detailed as the exact courses and electives that excite you) and why do you think now is the best time to go for an MBA (and not perhaps a year or two later as you have just become full time involved in your venture).
My advice on GMAT stays, though a 700 will not necessarily be a deal breaker in your case.

Best

Hi MBAkarma
Thank you for your response.

I hope the below points provide some clarity:

1. Reason for career move: Before I switched, I was involved with the company as an investor with significant stake but after realizing the potential of the company, I decided to join the company full time and make a difference. I am not jumping ship, I want to be a part of this company post my MBA.
2. Reason for a MBA: I want to further grow this company but I realized that I lack the key skills to develop a strong business plan. Hence, I decided to do an MBA from a reputed college which would not only help me acquire the key skills to grow my company but also give me credibility in the industry.

You can submit only one application per year. If you get rejected in Round 1, you can apply only in the following year’s intake.

Nikhil is right, you will have to apply next year. It wastes your year. So apply with a strong GMAT regardless of the round.

Nikhil, Hey, can you help me with a reward I redeemed using points? I redeemed the premium bundle and I don’t think it has been activated yet and I don’t know how to access it. Thanks

deferrals cant be more than last year, because as of now covid is somewhat predictable.. in any case i doubt ISB will increase their intake because even last year with large number of deferrals they managed well

On campus classes are supposed to start from August this year, if conditions allow it.
