Please evaluate my profile for ISB Co’26 and IIM PGP`X 2026.

My Profile:

Age: 25, Female
Work Ex. (as of March 31, 2025) : 2 years 1 months (Full time)

3. Graduation: Completed B.Arch (Architecture) from BIT, Mesra (7.32/10 CGPA)

Work Experience:
1. Working as a Product Designer in a SaaS based innovation lab for 2 months now. (Till 31st March, 2025- It will be 9 months)
2. Worked as UI Designer at Lowe’s Home improvement for 1.2 years

Hope you get the idea.

All the best.

Please evaluate my profile for ISB Co’26 and IIM PGP`X 2026.

My Profile:

Age: 25, Femaile
Work Ex. (as of March 31, 2025) : 4 years 8 months
GRE Shoter version Score : 325 (Quant : 170, Verbal : 155)
Wow! A perfect score in Quant! Congrats sargam2198.

How hard can Verbal be? See if you can bump up your GRE score by 5+ points. That will do a lot of good to your profile (even if it means applying in R2 Sargam).

Great GMAT FE score @Harsh_Belani. Your academics look pretty solid but lack a few key data points such as undergrad and grad school/university (whether Tier 1).
I cannot comment on your work experience in detail as the kind of work is mentioned but not what you did exactly. ISB is focused on what your impact was and how you were able to create that impact. This stands true for ECs as well.
Moreover mentioning your ECs is also critical as it helps ISB understand your personality and whether you would be a fit for the school.
To sum up, basis your acads and a fair bit of idea I get about work ex, I would say ISB would be a reach for you and if you are able to display effectively what you have done and the impact have you have created, your odds of getting an interview call would be ~45-50%.
Feel free to connect and discuss more incase you have any doubts.

Typically, Round 1 and Round 2 are quite similar in terms of admissions. By the time Round 2 concludes, ISB usually fills around 80-85% of the incoming cohort, making Round 3 distinct from the earlier rounds.

­Hey, ikhaan


Your strong academic and professional background positions you well for applying to ISB. Focus on preparing for the GMAT to achieve a competitive score, as it plays a crucial role in the admissions process. Round 3 has few chances of acceptance. As AdComs already admitted applicants with the same profile as yours in Round 1 and Round 2, they will only admit applicants who can bring diversity to their cohort in Round 3. Although there may be fewer applicants, competition can still be significant, so ensure your application effectively showcases your strengths and brings diversity to your profile. If not, I suggest applying in Round 1.


We’d be happy to discuss your profile in more detail to enhance your application’s competitiveness.Feel free to schedule a call with us here for an in-depth profile evaluation and additional benefits.We match you with the students and alums of top B-Schools according to your background and target schools.­
