Guys, in my recent attempt at GMAT I scored a 720. Should I appear for a retake? I am targeting ISB and IIMs mainly. Thanks.

Hello walterwhite756,

While no score is "enough" to get an interview call, a 720 is a good score; of course, if you feel your profile has some red flags and you have the potential to score higher, then you may give the GMAT another shot.

Should you wish to discuss your prospects in greater detail, please feel free to get in touch with us for a profile evaluation session.

Hope this helps.

All the best!

Academic consistency and excellence is evident in the profile - right from 10th to UG to post-grad too, which really helps. If you can elaborate a bit more on the work-ex part of things, will help in evaluating. Which team, your role, achievements at work (and also post-ISB goals).
Thanks for your reply. Regarding work-ex, For past 5 years, I have been working in Government funded R&D center which I joined right after graduation. The work includes Electrical Engineering side things namely development of various power converters for use in state of the art facilities for fundamental particle research. While main goal is fundamental physics oriented, my work mainly involves engineering side. I have secured a fast-track promotion and have achieved consistent appraisals at my work. While I do not have much clarity on post-ISB goals, my motivation for MBA is to switch career from public sector to private sector due to various reasons. I understand that there are numerous companies working in power sector where my experience can be useful and with ISB’s learnings I would be a great fit in such organizations. I do not mind switching career altogether from Engineering to Consulting side as well, however, I am not sure if that’s possible. Let me know if any other detail is required.

Understood, thanks! Work-related accolades can/should definitely be highlighted as a "situation of success" in Essay 2. Would recommend thinking deeply on what exactly (in terms of domain/industry) you would want to target as a post-ISB goal. Essay 3 is optional but you will be probed on your goals in the interview. So, we have to be a little more specific there. Profile looks good to me (academic spikes, good gmat score, and good work-related fodder for the essays). All the best!

Since round 3 has been included in ISB admission process recently, is it possible that ISB round 3 might not happen?

Nothing at this point. Varied sources have varied connotations about this. I think it’s just what it says, an update to our application to ensure to us that we’re still not out of contention.

Are you sure? Because, 900 seats are up for grabs. Now, let's assume 1:2 is the ratio for interview to Admit.

Meaning 1800 candidates will be interviewes. With the 1:6 ratio claimed by adcom, then 10,800 students apply every year to ISB?

A really good consultant once told on a certain WhatsApp group that nobody knows anything about this and if they claim that they know it, then they are lying.

Take all such claims with a bucket of salt.

RK_018 hope these tested tips can be of some help. Ideally, you should develop your own strategy for the interview (which comes with practice and meaningful feedback). Steer the interview in the direction where you feel most confident.
