­Hey! Your acads are pretty stellar along with a 675 GMAT. This will certainly give you an edge. Your work experience is pretty good but you will have to dig deeper into your goals and think what domain (within consulting) you would want to. We have few mentors who have actually transitioned from O&G sector to top conuslting companies.This will be key in your essays and interviews.

We have 50+ mentors from ISB, IIMs, and other global universities on our platform IvyCrackers and few of them are on admissions interview panels as well. You can book a complimentary 30-mins call with us and one of the interview panelists will evaluate your profile in detail. In this call, we will delve deep into your profile, help you build an overall strategy for your ISB application, and answer any questions you have about ISB.

­Are you a reapplicant Endeavour87? Your graduation marks are bit of a yellow flag and so, you are doing the right thing, by re-taking GMAT. Following article might help:

Applying to ISB with average academcs

Also, I am curious why you are targeting R2? Are you not confident of getting a better GMAT Focus score by R1 deadline?

­ok. Since you have a GMAT classic score (and obviously sufficient work-experience), I was curious why you did not apply last year.

Hey, RavKM

Based on your profile, you have a strong academic and professional background that positions you well for a competitive GMAT Focus score. Your 8.9 CGPA is impressive. Your three years of experience in marketing strategy at companies like Masters’ Union, Upscalio House of Brands, and Nykaa Fashion will help you bring lots of interesting and impactful stories. Additionally, your successful handmade jewelry business during college will help you bring leadership, entrepreneurship, and business experience. It will also help you showcase your marketing skills that can back your work experience.

Talking about your extracurricular activities, your progress from a member to Project Director in Enactus shows your commitment.

You should target a GMAT score of around 690. Focus on enhancing your skills in quantitative and data insights, and take regular practice tests to familiarize yourself with the format. Aiming for a score of 690 or higher will strengthen your application for ISB and other top-tier MBA programs.

Leveraging your strong academic record, diverse work experience and extracurricular involvement can enhance your prospects for admission to your desired business schools.

Hi,

As a thumb rule you can safely target a GMAT score close to or above the school average ( the higher the better), there is no magic number. Sharing some thoughts on your profile below:
Strengths of your profile:
  • Strong academic performance.
  • Progressive work experience.
  • Entrepreneurial experience, internships and extracurricular activities.
A possible weakness that you need to look into:
  • 3 years - 4 companies - the skills and professional insights you bring to the table, the tenures seem short (assuming this here since there is no clarity on what's the exact tenure at each, after JSW)
All the best!

Have worked with edtech, IT, SaaS based companies in my total 6 years of experience.

Education:

12th - 69%
10th - 9.4 cgpa
Your six years of diverse experience in sales and marketing, particularly in managing a team in a B2B enterprise setting, provides a strong foundation for an MBA application. Strong performance in B.Tech (85%) and 10th grade (9.4 CGPA) are positive aspects of your academic profile. The lower percentage in 12th grade (69%) is a minor concern but can be mitigated with a strong GMAT score and professional achievements.
To enhance your application and be competitive for top MBA programs, aim for a GMAT Focus score in the range of 700-730. This range will help offset the 12th-grade percentage and highlight your academic capabilities.
With a targeted GMAT score and a well-crafted application, you have a solid chance of success. You can always reach out to us at Preppie (https://www.preppie.in/) for free consultation and detailed profile evaluation.
