Hi, I was filling the ISB R1 application and see transcripts are asked everywhere. Will my marksheets not do and I need to get transcripts for CA and 10th/12th too. If needed, do I just go to ICAI n CBSE site and request it?

I used CA marksheets last year for the application but ordered CA transcripts at the time of admission

Best if you pen them down in the essays, while talking about your formative years. In your CV, better to stick to achievements in or after Class 12th - my opinion

If the internship was done long back then its okay to skip it unless you are building some narrative in your essays based on the experience gathered during the internship

While other aspects are decent, any possibility of retaking GMAT to improve the scores? With current GMAT score and background with only IT firms, it would be difficult to crack top tier Indian B-Schools

­As with most questions, the answer is: it depends natasha760.

For instance, "participated in athletics" would not be a great candidate, but "won 200 meters district championsip in class 10" would be a good candidate for the resume.

Hi guys, I'm 80% going to do my MBA in the US but would like to know the likelihood of me getting into ISB.

12th - 91.2%
UG - 7.88
GMAT FE - 715

Work ex - over 4.5 years (by start of mba) in equity research for a ~20 Bn AUM fund; Covered 2 major investments of about 0.5 Bn$ in addition to others

Certifications:
1. CFA Level 1 90th percentile
2. IIMB Micromasters degree in business management through Edx

Key extra curriculars:
1.Started an initiative aimed at removing waste from water bodies (significant progress with over 150 kgs removed till date and profits used to support locals)
2.During undergrad, captain and head of business for the automotive racing club, leading over 30 members to compete nationally and internationally - won several team and individual awards in various competitions
3.During undergrad, was also part of an initiative aimed at empowering underprivileged students through education
4. Ex- division 1 football player (district), Played tennis at the highest level (but only till 2016), and amateur state muay thai
­I am a bit puzzled that you did not consider it worthwhile to even mention what gradudation you pursued jeet1204. Was it BA, BCom, BTech or what??

Your GMAT score is obviously droolworthy:).

You do not mention your career goals either.

Also curious to know what does "highest level" (in Tennis) refer to?

Hello,

I’m looking for a profile evaluation.

10th CGPA: 9.8
12th : 80%
BTech (Mechanical Engg, IIT Delhi) : 6.5
GMAT FE: 660

I am looking to apply for R1 in September.

I’ve been working as a Rocket Propulsion Scientist in DRDO for the past 4 years. (with a promotion)

System manager for several projects and a few patents.

ECs: Developed and commissioned medical oxygen plants in Telangana State under PM Care during COVID 19
­
Honestly I am completely at sea here, since it is not technically possible to get a 660 on FE ghanendra12 :eh:.

Any specific reason why you chose to use DRDO? Was this a campus placement? I am only stating the obvious that your undergrad scores are quite low and so, a high GMAT score would help.

You might find the following article helpful:

Are poor academics a show stopper at ISB
